Two suspected sex pests who are believed to have gang-raped a mentally handicapped woman in Lamu County, while masquerading as Good Samaritans have been arrested.
Police say Shadrack Murimi Maina, 45, and Hiribae Kokane, 43, subjected the woman to the act in an abandoned house in Sina Mbio area.
According to police, the two suspects accompanied by a Nyumba Kumi elder Samuel Ngumi, were on foot patrol when they bumped into the middle-aged woman preparing tea in the crime-prone area with bread she had bought.
Ngumi told police he asked the two men to watch over her as he went to seek help but on coming back he found one of the suspects on the act of raping the intellectually disabled woman after Kokane had already taken his turn and fled the scene.
The incident happened between 8 am and 9 am on Monday.
With the help of residents, Ngumi rescued the woman and alerted the police. Murimi and Kokane were swiftly arrested and locked up behind bars.
