Friday, May 17, 2024 –A 23-year-old male student at Maseno University is in custody following his suspected involvement in a violent robbery and rape of two fellow students from the same campus.

According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations DCI statement shared today Friday May 17, the incident occurred on the night of April 14, 2024.

The statement states that one, Jacktone Oluoch Owiti, was ambushed at his room in Maseno’s Chulaimbo area, and one of the victims’ phones which was stolen on the fateful night also recovered from him.

In the April incident reported to the police by a member of community policing within Nyawita area, the two 1st year students aged 19 and 20 were attacked while sleeping in their shared room in the dead of the night, by two assailants who were armed with a machete and a dagger. Kicking the door open and threatening the fear-stricken girls with stabs should they make noise.

The boys then forced themselves on the victims before disappearing with their smartphones. After making sure that the attackers were out of vicinity, the victims screamed for help where neighbours responded by assisting them to reach a local hospital for medical attention.

Kisumu West detectives who relentlessly pursued the case eventually caught up with the first suspect on May 15, who was yesterday paraded for identification, DNA sampling conducted and later arraigned.

New leads to his accomplice(s) have since been obtained and the investigators are hot on their trail.
