"For a stark example of the low value placed on girls in Kenya, you need look no further than the brutal gang rape of a 16-year-old girl who was attacked by six men as she walked home in Busia." /.COURTESY
A 21-year-old man has been jailed for life by a Ndhiwa court for defiling a four-year-old girl.
Zachariah Kiboma was found guilty on Thursday by senior resident magistrate Mary Ochieng.
He raped the girl in Ogandi village, Ndhiwa subcounty, Homa Bay county, on April 12 last year.
Four witnesses testified in the case, incriminating Kiboma.
Kiboma pleaded for leniency, saying he was misled by the devil to rape the girl.
