Kibera senior principal magistrate Philip Mutua declined to proceed with a case against a youthful man who pleaded guilty to charges of sodomising his neighbour’s five-year-old son and remanded him in police custody to think twice about how to plead to the charges. The man had pleaded guilty to defilement charges twice despite a warning that he was facing a serious offence that attracts life imprisonment. The suspect was charged with committing the offence in Westlands Sub County, Nairobi on October 26 and was given time to think about how to respond. But the man woke him up to take him to the neighbor but committed the heinous act before taking him there. The child reported the incident to the mother later that day.
