A man has denied raping a mentally ill woman in a toilet.
Morris Waweru, 26, allegedly raped Eunice Njeri in Embakasi on October 4 after locking her in a toilet.
The court heard that the accused threatened to kill Njeri if she
revealed what had happened. Njeri reported that she was at home alone
around 10pm when the suspect accosted her as she went to a nearby
toilet.
The prosecution said the accused knocked on the toilet door several
times, but when she came out, Waweru allegedly grabbed her by the throat
and pushed her back in.
In her statement, Njeri said, “Immediately I stepped out, Waweru who
happens to be our neighbour, pushed me back telling me to remove my
underwear. Before I knew it, I was on the ground as he unzipped his
trousers and raped me, after which he warned that he would rape and kill
me I told anyone.”
It is only after she was taken to hospital due to rashes that had
developed in her private parts that Njeri disclosed what had happened to
her.
Waweru denied the charge and was set free on a Sh100,000 bond. His trial begins on February 3, 2015.
