A 36-year-old man from Dayate Village in Tana River County has been sentenced to 40 years' imprisonment for repeatedly defiling his 12-year-old, mentally challenged cousin.
Suleiman Ware Galgalo was convicted by Hola Senior Principal Magistrate Edward Too of defilement contrary to Section 8(1) as read with Section 8(3) of the Sexual Offences Act No. 3 of 2006.
The court heard that the incidents occurred on diverse dates in March 2025 at the victim’s home in Tana River Sub-County.
The prosecution, led by Mr Shadrack Kagema Nderitu, told the court that Galgalo took advantage of his relationship with the family.
