A 17-year-old girl has since Monday been admitted following an incident in which six men allegdly gang-defiled her.
The injured victim is hospitalized at Homa Bay County Teaching and Referral Hospital where she was rushed after the incident.
The incident occured in Homa Bay town, Ndhiwa constituency, Homa Bay County in Kenya, East Africa.
The helpless family of the girl is now seeking justice for their daughter.
According to her family, the girl left home in Ndhiwa two weeks ago and her mother had no idea where she had gone.
The girl said the men confronted her while walking in Homa Bay Town at night and defiled her next to a bar.
After the ordeal, she said one of the men tried to force her to ingest acid on her genitals, before they later reportedly took her to a different location.
Homa Bay sub-county Children’s Officer Joseph Otieno said Sunday morning that his office was collaborating with security officers to trace the suspects.
