Police in Thika have arrested a man, his wife and rescued their three children after sexual and physical assault claims.

The couple, who have been married for six years were arrested on Tuesday evening following a complaint lodged by the Thika Children’s Officer Mrs. Lina Mwangi. They are being detained at Thika police station. The 38-year-old woman is said to be pregnant.

According to Citizen TV, the children's father who was drunk burned his children’s books before defiling his daughter. A while back the father burned the girls with hot tea leaving them with serious wounds to nurse.

All this would have gone had it not been for their teacher who raised an alarm after noticing that the girls came to school dirty with a lot of injuries.

The head teacher approached the family's neighbours who then confirmed the allegations then they reported the case to the police who had to force entry to the house.

After seeking medical attention, the police boss then concluded and gave Citizen a report that the couple will be arraigned in court for defilement and incest charges.
