A man has been sentenced to 10 years by Iten law courts for defiling his 15-year-old daughter. He committed the offence on March 16, 2013 in Lelan location, Marakwet East. The man had denied that the girl was his daughter.
The girl said her father took advantage of the mother's absence. She said he threatened to kill her if she told anybody. Senior resident magistrate Rose Ndombi said the sentence will act as deterrence.
