A 22-year-old man attempted to commit suicide on Monday after being arraigned for allegedly defiling a 16-year-old girl. Joshua Maina Toto hit his head against the court floor shouting that he was tired of life and wanted to die. Maina was arraigned under a miscellaneous application as police sought more time to detain him as they continue investigations. She stated that the mother of the complainant reported the defilement on April 30, 2021, alleging that her daughter was defiled between April 14 and 20, 2021. The court heard Maina was arrested on May 29, which was a weekend and police were unable to escort him to the government chemist for examination.
