An unnamed middle-aged man from Matsakha village in Malava, Kakamega County in Kenya, is said to be on the run, after he defiled his 12-year-old daughter.
According to the village head, elder Rose Musa, the girl confessed that her father had been defiling her ever since she was eight years old.
Before escaping, the suspect was said to have blamed his actions on the absence of his wife.
He explained that his wife deserted him, and, therefore, had “nowhere else to get sexual satisfaction.”
Confirming the case, area assistant police chief, John Chebsanyi, said authorities will do everything possible to ensure that the suspect is arrested.
The suspect is expected to be charged with committing incest with a minor, a crime that could attract a life sentence.
