Man Defiles, Infects Daughter With HIV

A 45-year-old man defiles and infects 15-year-old daughter with HIV at Muthara village in Tigania East, Meru County of Kenya.

On accounts of the minor, she explained that her father drags her to a nearby farm where he sexually abuses her; she further stated that it has happened on several occasions.

She ran to a nearby farmhouse on one of the occasions where she got arrested. She refused to follow her father home on her release and explained to the police the appalling incident. She explained that she had told her teachers about the continuous abuse, but they failed to act upon it.

The authorities drew out his hospital records and found out he registered for anti-retroviral drugs. A test was conducted following the report for the father and daughter, which showed they were both tested positive.

The man casually admitted to the crime, and when he asked why he responded, saying he didn’t want to die alone and leave her to suffer.

He has been to life imprisonment and given fourteen days to appeal.
