It is a shame when the flock fears the predator only to be slaughtered by the shepherd. That is the case in Kisii county as a 78-year-Old Roho Israel’s bishop escaped death by a whisker after he was found having intercourse with a 13-year-old girl in a bush.
The cleric was caught by passersby who heard a commotion in the bush and decided to check only to find him committing this heinous act. He was then dragged half-naked and flogged mercilessly by the villagers.
The police’s effort to rescue him from the angry mob almost proved futile but finally bore fruits.
The Old man was taken to Kisii police station as he waits to be arraigned in court after he recovers from the thorough beating he received.
The safety of Children in society has now become a subject of debate with many wondering how to protect young children from predators
The thought of the stigma, trauma and fear that has befell the innocent 13-year-old girl is something unimaginable.
It has become so difficult to discern who can be trusted with the security of our children.
Recent cases of children being subject to torture and pain have taken centre stage with the latest being the teachers that forced grade two students to engage in a sexual act as punishment.
