Incest Kenya man who defiled daughter says his wife denied him sex

A father who raped his daughter in Kenya said he did it because his wife denied him sex.

A man in Kenya who was arrested for allegedly sleeping with his 14-year-old daughter, has told police officers that he decided to have sex with his child because his wife denied him his conjugal rights.

Tuko-co.ke reports that Edwin Ochieng from the Migori region, was arrested on January 14, 2016, at his home in Rabuor village, Suna East Sub-County, Migori, after his wife reported the incident.

The wife had reported to the police that the night before, her husband had refused to allow their children sleep in a separate house, insisting that his family must spend the night under the same roof.

But a few hours after they had all gone to bed, the man sneaked into the children's room where he forced himself on his daughter.

The mother was awoken by her daughter’s shout for help and went to see what was amiss, only to find her husband on top of the girl.

According to the area Administration Police CommandantSamson Ogelo, the girl who had suffered injuries to her private parts was taken to Migori County Referral Hospital where she is receiving treatment while Ochieng was taken to Migori police station, awaiting to be charged in court.
