A manhunt has been launched by police in Loitoktok, Kajiado County after a father defiled and killed his 14-year-old daughter.
Confirming the news was Kajiado South sub-county Police Commander Kiprotich Chekwony who revealed that the body of the young girl was found at the parent’s matrimonial bed with visible neck injuries.
Kiprotich continued by revealing that the man returned home on Monday after months of absence threatening to kill his 37-year-old wife who was forced to flee to neighbouring home for safety.

“The suspect was reported to have left home hurriedly to an unknown destination only to resurface at night and found his two daughters at home alone. He preyed on his second born after locking out her 16-year-old elder sister outside the house at around 9pm.
We have been able to gather that the couple had disagreed earlier in the day, prompting the wife to seek refuge in the neighbor’s house on Monday night. When the husband returned and found the deceased and her sister alone, he is suspected to have raped and left her for dead,” he said
According to the police, they believe the suspect might have crossed to Tanzania but they are optimistic of tracking him down.
“We suspect that he might have crossed to the neighbouring Tanzania but we are trailing him. We are optimistic to smoke him out,” said Kiprotich
