A 14-year-old girl in a defilement case has told police that the suspect forced her to smoke bhang before defiling her.
John Mathenge Kimani allegedly committed the offence on diverse dates between April 17 and May 25 within Industrial Area in Nairobi.
Police allege that Kimani lived with the minor in his house after she escaped from her brother’s house. Police said the suspect would often force the minor to smoke bhang before sleeping with her.
Following her disappearance, the brother involved police who traced and found her in the house of the accused.
Kimani denied the charges. The matter will be mentioned on June 19.
