A police constable in Kitui County has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a female inmate after sneaking her out of her cell.
A police report shows that Constable Francis Makau was standing guard on Saturday night when he left the report office and released one Mercy Mulei.
He allegedly sexually assaulted her in one of the office rooms in the station.
The officer is said to have committed the crime as his partner, Ali Abdi, answered a nature call.
Further, the report indicates, the suspect’s wife, Anne Kasyoka, 27, stormed the station at around 5.30 am looking for him after he failed to go home the previous night.

Mulei was rushed to Mutitu Sub-County hospital for treatment.
Makau is in custody for the offence of sexual assault and his wife for assault.
