Police have arrested a house help from hell after she infected her four-year employer’s son with a sexual disease.
The vile maid subjected the 4-year-old, his seven-year-old and ten-year-old sisters to a month-long ordeal during which she would beat them up, lock the sisters in one room and drag the four-year-old to another room where she would routinely sexually molest the baby.
The deranged maid would force the minor to lick her private parts and also insert the boy’s sexual organs into herself during the ordeals.
She would then threaten the minors with death while wielding a kitchen knife and warn them that she would kill their parents if they dared report her.
The seven- and ten-year-old sisters have told police that as punishment, the house girl would insert toothpicks into their private parts and beat them up without reason.
Twenty-nine-year-old Mercy Wambui Mwangi who hails from Karira sub location, Nguka location, Thiba division in Mwea West was arrested by police in Kayole.
According to a report made through Occurrence Book (OB) No35/8/12/2023 by the minor’s mother, the house help had only worked for the family for a month.
The vile acts were only discovered after the children’s mother discovered that her 4-year-old son was suffering from a sexually transmitted disease when he experienced difficulty.
The distraught mother rushed the minor to hospital where he has been receiving treatment and reported the matter to Kayole police station who swiftly swung into action and arrested the suspect who had come back to the employer’s house to pick up her national identity card that had been left behind.
The children are currently being attended to by a psychiatrist who is treating them of trauma.
She is currently locked up at Langata Women’s prison as she awaits the date of commencing the case.
The case is reminiscent of another incident in which a house help was jailed for 5 years for sending her boyfriend images of 7-year-old girl.
A middle-aged woman has been sentenced to five years in prison or pay a Ksh.15 million fine for taking pictures of a seven-year-old girl and sending them to her boyfriend.
Sharon Wabwile was convicted of the offence of child pornography by Milimani Children’s Court Principal Magistrate Jackie Kibosia.
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (ODPP), in a statement, said it had sought compensation for the victim, arguing that the minor had suffered emotional damage.
“The prosecution through Victor Preston Owuor submitted during the sentencing hearing that the victim had suffered emotional loss and prayed for compensation under Section 26 of the Victim Protection Act,” stated the ODPP.
The court heard that Wabwile who was at the time working as a house help, took several naked images of the minor she was taking care of while she was asleep and sent them to her boyfriend who had asked for them.
The Magistrate found the suspect guilty on all three counts and also ordered her to pay “restitution amount of Ksh.2 million to the victim,” which takes precedence over the fine.
The court further directed that, in the event the convict is unable to raise the restitution amount, then the victim can claim it through the Victim Protection Trust Fund.
Magistrate Kibosia also ordered that the images be expunged from all social, print, and visual media platforms and that the phone that was used to take the images be forfeited to the Communications Authority of Kenya.
