A pastor in Kirinyaga County has been sentenced to 140 years in jail after pleading guilty to defiling and impregnating two underage daughters.
Senior Principal Magistrate Anthony Mwicigi ruled that the pastor will serve 70 years for each case, after defiling the girls aged 14 and 16 years.
On Thursday, January 7, the prosecution verified the girls birth certificate and ascertained that they were below 18 years, paving way for the magistrate to make his ruling on Thursday, January 14.
Court documents disclosed that the suspect committed the offense on diverse dates between June 1, 2019, and June 30, 2019, and between August 1, 2020, and August 31, 2020, in Ndia Constituency.
