A 47-year-old man from Kagambwa village in Gatundu North, Kiambu County is in custody after he allegedly impregnated his daughter, a minor.
David Mbugua, a father of three is said to have been habitually enjoying sex with his biological daughter during which he could entice her using all manner of conducts.
But early last year’s sprees proved more productive to him as after reportedly having committed the appalling act, his 15-year-old girl conceived leading to a successful delivery on December 28, 2022.
According to Virginia Muthoki, the minor’s mother, she started suspecting the two owing to her husband’s fishy behaviors and occasional outings with the daughter.
After a series of suspicions, Muthoki divulged the issue to Mbugua who threatened to take action against her if she dared to disclose 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.
Interestingly and to fleece evidence in the village, Mbugua is reported to have asked Muthoki to collaborate in taking the minor to his sister who resides in Naivasha where she gave birth.
That notwithstanding, Muthoki, with the help of a few neighbours mobilized and together, informed sleuths who arrested the suspect before they fled to safer grounds as they feared a possible release of the man would mean mistreatment.
Neighbours who spoke to journalists described the act as one that must have been done by a beast.
The embarrassed locals urged police and other law enforcement agencies to hand the suspect a life lesson to avert such incidents from cropping up in the village in the future.
