MOMBASA - Court Rules Man in Defilement Suit Has Case to Answer

In a defilement case going on in Mombasa, the court has ruled that the suspect, Charles Onderi, has a case to answer.

The incident had on April 30 last year happened at Senti kumi area in Likoni, Mombasa, where the suspect was accused of allegedly defiling a 17-year-old minor inside his vehicle while parked outside a petrol station.

The suspect first appeared before Mombasa Senior Resident Magistrate Rita Orora and pleaded not guilty to the charges.

During the plea taking, the court was informed that Onderi had lured the minor while armed with a gun and threatened her that he was an officer from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and no one would question his actions provided the victim knew how to keep a secret.

The court also heard that moments before he defiled the minor, the accused fueled his car, paid for the fuel, and later moved from the fuelling area to the parking lot within the filling station.

The court was told that Onderi was arrested following a public outcry after he attempted to interfere with investigations by offering Ksh50,000 to the minor's mother to have the matter settled outside the court.

“Moments before defiling the minor he removed his gun and threatened to kill her in case she did not cooperate. After defiling her, he opened the door and asked her to leave after offering her Ksh.300,” part of the police statement read.

The court has scheduled the hearing for December 1, 2025, where Onderi will have the opportunity to present his case, including calling witnesses.

In September this year, another suspect was sentenced to a life imprisonment after he was found guilty of defiling a six-year-old girl in Likoni.

Paul Kilonzo Muthami was convicted of defilement contrary to Section 8(1), as read with Section 8(2) of the Sexual Offences Act, No. 3 of 2006.

Muthami also faced an alternative charge of committing an indecent act with a child, contrary to Section 11(1) of the same law.

“The DPP, through Prosecution Counsel Purity Musembi, presented compelling evidence that Muthami lured the minor into his house under the pretext of watching television before committing the offence on November 6, 2022, at Kiwerera area in Likoni Sub-County.

The prosecution called five witnesses whose corroborating testimonies placed the accused at the centre of the crime.

In his ruling, Resident Magistrate Hon. Green Odera emphasized the severity of the crime, stating, “The testimonies of the prosecution witnesses were consistent and credible. The accused took advantage of the victim’s innocence and violated her in the most inhumane manner.”

In sentencing Muthami, the court underscored the seriousness of sexual offences against children, noting that such punishment would serve as a deterrent to others at a time when cases of defilement remain alarmingly high in the country.

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding the rights of children and ensuring justice for victims of sexual and gender-based violence.

MOMBASA - Man "Living With HIV" Arrested For Allegedly Defiling 4-year-old Minor

A man who was arrested in Likoni Mombasa for allegedly defiling a 4-year-old minor has confessed his HIV status to police

The 43-year-old confirmed that he has been on HIV medication for more than 10 years and pleaded with the officers to allow him continue receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) while in cell.

The suspect had, on Friday 3 been arrested by police officers from Shelly Beach police at Gambani area while fleing away from his home in senti kumi.

According to a report by the National Crime Research Centre, Mombasa has reported the highest number of defilement cases out of 13 counties sampled.

MOMBASA: Likoni Police, Boda Boda Hold Security Meeting

Local administrators in Timbwani, Likoni, Mombasa, in collaboration with the area police today, held a security meeting with boda boda officials to implement President Ruto's amnesty granted to boda boda riders few months ago.

The agenda of the meeting was also to enhance the collaboration between police and boda boda operators from different stages in the area, village elders, and members of the community policing in fighting crime.

Speaking during the meeting, the officer commanding Shelly Beach police station Abdi Kassim said the collaboration will create a new law that will encourage self-regulation amongst boda boda riders so that they can govern themselves as they maintain law and order within the sector.

The senior officers warned the riders against illegal branding and modifications of their motorbikes, saying, such was promoting contraband transportation.

He further urged the operators to make sure they knew what they were carrying and the owner of the package before agreeing to transport it.

The OCS further warned those whose motorcycles have excessive noise to stop. He noted that motorcycles being ridden around tl with extremely loud exhausts were interfering with the public peace and safety.

This meeting came after President Ruto's announcement, which came two weeks after Parliament said that it will proceed with the Public Transport Motorcycle Regulation Bill, 2025, which focuses on regulating the boda boda sector.

The bill, which was sponsored by Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale, aims to introduce new regulations for the registration, operation, and safety of boda boda operators at the county level. Khalwale had requested to withdraw the bill; however, members of parliament declined.

If adopted, the new law will see the establishment of a County Motorcycle Transport and Safety Board, which will be responsible for the registration, training, and operations of boda boda operators.

Under the law, it will be mandatory for all boda boda operators in the country to join a SACCO and undergo training, which will encompass the Public Transport Motorcycle Regulation Bill, 2025.

The bill also proposed hefty fines, including a Ksh20,000 penalty for any boda boda rider caught riding on pedestrian walkways and a Ksh100,000 fine or a one-year prison sentence for boda boda riders who collude with others to harm someone.

In a statement on Tuesday, July 22, parliament stated that it will establish public participation forums, which will ensure that all boda boda stakeholders thoroughly scrutinize it and propose amendments.
