KCSE candidate charged with sodomy

In Kitui County, a KCSE applicant has been accused of committing a sexual offense.

The teenager was charged with sodomizing another pupil at the institution.

According to reports, he did it between April 14 and April 16.

He came before Justine Asiago, the Kitui Resident Magistrate, and refuted the accusations.

He was given the option of a cash bail of $100,000 or a Sh200,000 bond with an equivalent guarantee. On June 29, the case will be brought up.

According to reliable sources, the suspect was dismissed from the school as soon as the sodomy episode was brought to the attention of the administration in late April.

Later, the school administration launched an investigation into the incident.

However, the complainant’s parents eventually informed the authorities about the situation, and the police opened an inquiry.

The accused was detained by the police while he was on suspension and taken to Kitui court on Thursday to face the allegations.
