A 52 year-old man who forced a 10-year old boy to suck his genitals and released in his mouth has been arrested.

The suspect, Alex Mutua Kimuyu committed the heinous act on Tuesday in lodging at Itangine market, Makueni County after convincing the boy to accompany him there.

Makueni Sub-county Police Commander Mr. Timothy Maina confirmed the incident on Friday.

He said that Kimuyu was arrested in Wote town after the boy’s mother informed police after spotting him near the hospital where the minor was undergoing treatment.

“A teacher at Itathoni Primary School called the boy’s mother to inform her that the minor was feeling unwell. She went, picked and took him to Makueni Referral Hospital for check-up.

While being examined, the boy disclosed to the medics that the man had forced him to suck his private parts and swallow the seminal fluid. After that the boy felt nauseated and started to vomit while at school,” Maina elaborated.

Maina said the suspect is being held at Makueni Police Station, adding that he would be arraigned in court after investigations.
