Through her social Instagram account, Kemunto said,

I WAS SLIPPING IN AND OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS, MAYBE DUE TO SHOCK BUT I WAS HELPLESS. I COULD NOT FIGHT TWO MEN WHO PLAY RUGBY PROFESSIONALLY. OBVIOUSLY, THEY WERE STRONGER, HENCE, I LET THEM DO WHATEVER THEY WANTED TO DO THE WHOLE NIGHT,” SHE CLAIMED. “I COULD HAVE REPORTED THE CASE TO THE POLICE BUT I WAS IN DENIAL, SHOCK, PAIN AND EXHAUSTED. I DID NOT WANT TO REPORT ALSO BECAUSE OF THE PROFILE OF ONE OF THESE RUGBY PLAYERS.

The players' careers have been dimmed and Frank Wanyama, was set to join a rugby team in Helsinki soon.
