NAKURU COUNTY: A house help accused of defiling a minor Wednesday had her case adjourned after she failed to show up on time for the hearing.

Diana Auma Salome is facing a defilement charge and an alternative charge of indecent act contrary to sexual offenses act.

Auma is accused of defiling a three-year-old boy at Koinange Estate within Nakuru Town on January 9.

The minor’s mother told the Nakuru court that on the particular day, her son informed her that Auma called him to her bedroom, undressed and molested him after coming from school.

The mother said she rushed the boy to a nearby private hospital where he was given medication.

Resident Magistrate Judicaster Nthuku adjourned the hearing and will resume on July 16.

Meanwhile, a Nakuru court has likened a man who defiled a primary school girl to a wild animal on heat before sentencing him to 60 years in jail.

Nakuru Children’s Court Acting Resident Magistrate Judicaster Nthuku said after listening to evidence, she had no option but pass stiff penalty for the beastly act by the accused David Karanja Ndungu.
