A 47-year-old man from Kagambwa village in Gatundu North, Kiambu County, is being held after allegedly impregnating his minor daughter.
David Mbugua, a father of three, is said to have routinely enjoyed sex with his biological daughter, during which he could entice her with various behaviours.
However, his early last year’s sprees proved more fruitful for him, as after allegedly committing the heinous act, his 15-year-old girl conceived, resulting in a successful delivery on December 28, 2022.
According to the minor’s mother, Virginia Muthoki, she began suspecting the two due to her husband’s suspicious behaviour and occasional outings with the daughter.
Following a series of suspicions, Muthoki revealed the situation to Mbugua, who threatened her with legal action if she revealed the ordeal.
“He has always threatened me whenever I raised the issue with him. He often asked me; you want to take me to jail? I’m asking the government to help me as I am currently helpless,” said Muthoki.
Mbugua is said to have asked Muthoki to help him take the minor to his sister in Naivasha, where she gave birth.
Despite this, Muthoki, with the help of a few neighbours, mobilised and informed sleuths who arrested the suspect before fleeing to safer grounds for fear of mistreatment if the man was released.
Neighbors who spoke to journalists described the act as one that could only be performed by a beast.
The embarrassed residents urged police and other law enforcement agencies to teach the suspect a lesson in order to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
