Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) based in Bomet on Wednesday, November 23 launched a manhunt for a suspect who sodomised a drunk man after locking him up in his house for over 10 hours. 

In the bizarre incident that occurred in Mosonik village of Kyogong location in Chepalungu, the man who was making merry with his kinsmen sharing drinks at Jumbo club, had excused himself to use the washroom when the suspect struck.

Unbeknownst to him, the man only identified as Silas lay in wait under the cover of darkness for his victim.

As the man staggered back to the local, he was accosted by the suspect who instead led him to his house approximately 200 metres away. 

"Efforts by the victim to raise alarm as he was led by Silas to his chambers were unsuccessful, as his incoherent screams were drowned by the loud stereo in the pub playing local popular hit song ‘Gloria’ as the rest of the equally inebriated revellers slurred and danced along. 

"The suspect then went against the order of nature and sodomised the helpless 33-year-old victim until late yesterday afternoon, when a passerby came to his rescue after he heard screams coming from the house," the DCI stated.

The victim was rescued and rushed to Longisa county and referral hospital for treatment and the relevant tests were conducted.

Meanwhile, a manhunt for the suspect who fled from his home was immediately launched, with the DCI urging Kenyans to reach out to the agency with information that may lead to his arrest.

Sodomy is a felony per Section 162 of the Kenyan Penal Code, punishable by 14 years imprisonment.

The act goes on to state that any sexual practices between males (termed "gross indecency") are a felony under section 165 of the same statute, punishable by five years imprisonment.
