According to report, an 82-year-old man has been sentenced to life imprisonment for defiling an eight-year-old girl, which is highly welcomed by the society.

Festus Chemoite Mandu, 82, pleaded guilty of s*xually abusing a little girl in Kakamega County.

While showing before Eldoret Chief magistrate Charles Obulutsa, Mr Mandu stated he wouldn't contest the uncleanness charges.

The man was suspected of luring the minor to his house when she was heading home from school on Thursday and defiled her.

The girl was reclaimed by neighbours who detected her screaming inside Mr Mandu’s house.

Before sentencing him, the magistrate warned Mr Mandu of the implications of the offence he had confessed.

“The sentence of the offence you have admitted is life imprisonment, do you still confess?” asked the magistrate.

Mr Mandu responded: “It is true. I committed the said offence as a result of the work of the devil who lied to me. ”

The convict has been given 14 days to appeal.
