Cases of men engaging in sex with their daughters or sisters are on the rise, raising concern over waning moral values across the country.
Police in Kakamega are pursuing a 40-year-old man who allegedly defiled his sick daughter.
The man committed the beastly act at a local hospital where his daughter had been admitted in serious condition.
The girl was under the care of her father, Patrick Muvinga, before she was sexually assaulted in one of the wards in the hospital. The minor had been admitted at the pediatric ward suffering from severe malaria.
A woman who witnessed the incident raised alarm and alerted the police who responded swiftly to her distress call. However, Muvinga managed to escape immediately after noticing the presence of the officers inside the ward.
Medics at the hospital conducted a test on the girl to establish whether she had been rapped. A medical examination revealed that the girl had been defiled and she also sustained injuries in her private parts.
Children’s rights activists have raised the red flag over rising cases of incest and gender-based violence.
