Man, 75, Sentenced To Life Imprisonment For Defiling His Neighbour’s 6-Year-Old Daughter

Senior principal magistrate Esther Bhoke at the Kibera law court in Nairobi handed the penalty to the man identified as Wilson Motunde Enima, after he was convicted for the offence on Thursday, April 14.

 

Enima defiled the minor inside his house as her mother washed clothes outside on May 2017, in Lindi, Kibera.

The child had gone to play inside Enima’s house shortly after arriving home from school. She stayed at the house for about 30 minutes. Her mother got concerned and peeped into Enima’s house and where she saw him standing beside the child.

The girl then came out of the house. The minor at first denied anything had happened to her when her mother enquired about what she was doing with Enima in the house.

 

The victim’s mother went with her to her mother-in-law and reported what had happened and asked her to check whether the minor was okay.

The mother–in–law examined the child’s private parts and said nothing had happened to her.

But the child opened up a few days later when her mother discovered a foul smell from her private parts while washing her. She admitted that Enima had defiled her three times.

She was taken to a hospital where she was treated and discharged and the matter was reported to Kilimani police station. Enima was charged on May 30 of 2017 and found guilty after five years of trial.
