Two assistant chiefs and a police officer in Muranga have been caught up in an ugly group sex scandal with a minor with police moving in swiftly to arrest the suspects.
Together with the policeman, the administrators- one from Tuthu and another Wanjerere- are reported to have lured the 16-year old girl to Aberdares forest where they are alleged to have defiled her.
An elderly woman who saw the suspects disappearing into the forest with the minor raised alarm with villagers responding swiftly and catching the suspects pants down.
The 16-year-old victim stated that one of the suspects has been trying to lure her with gifts in a bid to make her give in to his sexual advances.
Two of the suspects were arrested and handed over to the authorities.
A third suspect who is also an assistant chief managed to flee on foot, prompting a manhunt.
Area Police Commander John Ngare confirmed the incident saying they have since commenced investigations into the matter and assured residents that justice will be served.
Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha strongly condemned the incident that came at a time when the country is witnessing a surge in teenage pregnancies amid the Coronavirus pandemic.
