A bodaboda rider in Mombasa County has been slapped with a 40-year jail term for defiling his eight-year-old relative.
Mwarabu Omar Pato was convicted by Senior Resident Magistrate David Odhiambo, who ruled that the prosecution had proven its case beyond reasonable doubt.
The prosecution, through Prosecution Counsel Barbara Sombo, proved three ingredients of the age of the minor, penetration, and positive identification of the accused in the defilement case.

“The evidence and testimonies of the prosecution witnesses were irrefutable, including the Post-Rape Care (PRC) and P3 forms, which showed that the complainant was indeed defiled,” Magistrate Odhiambo ruled.
The offence was committed on 14th November 2022, in the Mikanjuni area of Jomvu Sub-County within Mombasa County.
