A Kenyan woman, Naomi Nechesa Sanya, has been arrested and arraigned in court, for allegedly raping a teenage boy at a police station they were being detained in.
23-year-old Naomi Nechesa Sanya who
was arraigned before Senior Principal Magistrate Kennedy Cheruiyot, who
was previously arrested for murder, met the complainant along the
corridors of the police station cells. The woman who was accused of
raping the underage boy at Riruta Police Station in Kenya thereafter,
however denied the allegation.
“The 15-year-old boy had been
arrested over a drug-related offence and could not be detained with
adults in the cells,” State prosecutor Kennedy Panyako told the
magistrate.
Nechesa who pleaded with the magistrate to allow her
breastfeed her baby as she applied to be released on reasonable bond
terms, said;
“I have an 11-month-old baby who is breastfeeding.
Since my arrest and detention on Sunday I have not seen my baby neither
have I breastfed her.
“I urge this court, in the name of my
child’s rights, [to] release me on bond or direct police to go to my
residence and pick my baby and reunite her with me at the police
station,” Nechesa further pleaded.
The lady who disclosed
that she will plead guilty to the murder charge once investigations are
completed, was released by Mr Cheruiyot who directed police to reunite
the woman with her baby so that she can breastfeed her.
