Despite having a wife, Moses Mogere defiled his 16-year-old sister (DMN) in a room she shared with his daughter and impregnated her.
When Mogere and his wife realised DMN was pregnant, he gave his wife Sh3,000 to help DMN procure an abortion at a local chemist, but the procedure was not successful and she eventually gave birth.
After the failed abortion, DMN reported to the local chief, who together with DMN’s deputy head teacher reported the matter to Nyamarambe Police Station.
Mogere was sentenced to life imprisonment for incest after Justice Anne Okutoyi upheld the sentence handed to him by Etago Principal Magistrate Vincent Nyaga.
According to DMN who is an orphan, her brother started having unprotected sex with her since early 2023 until March 2024.
She narrated how Mogere would defile her in the same room she slept with her cousin (Mogere’s daughter).
She told the court that all started on the night his wife was away attending a funeral, and after that it became a routine.
