According to reports, a 27-year-old woman is recovering from injuries received when three men who identified themselves as police officers raped her.

After visiting Kiwanja market in Kahawa West, Kenya, with her partner to purchase food, the incident took place.

The three men confronted the two as they were making their way to their rented home and warned them not to flee because they were police officers.

Wangare and her boyfriend were led into a dimly lit space and told to lie down. The woman was then repeatedly raped while her boyfriend looked on.

The police report read; 

“Wangare was being escorted by her boyfriend James Maina from Kiwanja Market where they had bought some foodstuff and were headed home when they were confronted by three men who ordered them not to run that they were police officers. The trio then directed the two to a dark place and ordered them to lie down. They turned to the lady and sexually assaulted her as the helpless boyfriend watched.”

After the unfortunate incident, the assailants fled towards Ruiru. The victim was rushed to a nearby health centre where she was treated and discharged.

The police have since launched investigations into the incident.
