A man from Kirinyaga has finally returned to the very home that he was falsely accused of defiling his own daughter that led to him spending thirteen years behind bars.
According to reports, Peter Githinji Kioi, a resident of Kiangothe village in Kirinyaga Central was falsely accused by his own wife of defiling his own daughter at their home in Kirinyaga.
Githinji claims that his wife was so determined to see him locked that she first accused him of assaulting her before shifting to defilement of their daughter, a charge that saw him slapped witha 20 year sentence.

“At first, my wife took me to court for allegedly assaulting her. When I was released, she went back to court and accused me of defiling my own daughter, which led to my 20-year sentence.”
However, unsatisfied with the ruling, Githinji appealed the 20 year sentence that he was sentenced to and shock to him, the 20 year sentence was changed to life imprisonment, a sentence he has been serving at King’ong’o Prisons.
“I couldn’t believe it when they handed down the life sentence. I cried out loud, knowing my life was about to be wasted. But yesterday, against all odds, I was released and I have returned to my village.”
His arrival was met with more shock when he was told that his wife vanished to thin air after he was jailed and his children are now married and moved on with life only to be welcomed by his relatives and siblings.
