The woman boarded the motorcycle at 10pm on June 24, 2017. “The motorcyclist diverted when we were near campus, took me to a bush near Kari Farm, ordered me to undress, slapped and punched me, choked me, sodomised and raped me and then apologised afterwards. I tried to scream for help but he threatened to kill me and took my mobile phone and Sh390 before he fled,” said the victim. The victim said she reported the matter to the university security guard and was taken to the university dispensary where she was attended to before reporting the matter to Njoro Police Station. Chief Magistrate Bernard Mararo said the prosecution convinced the court that the accused was guilty.
