Detectives based in Makueni County have launched a manhunt for a clergyman who allegedly raped a school going teenager and warned her of dire consequences should she disclose the ordeal to anyone.
The man of the cloth identified as Rev Daniel Kimeu was entrusted with the responsibility of shepherding the Lord’s flock but abandoned his responsibility and attacked one of his own.
It is reported the cleric, who ministers at A.I.C Kalebwani church in Kilungu, had offered a ride to the 18-year-old Form Three girl on October 19, 2021.
