Sunday School teacher released on a sh. 300K bail over sodomy, defilement charges.
A Thika court on Friday released a religious teacher accused of sodomy and defilement on a Ksh. 300,000 bail for every charge or a surety of the same amount in cash.
Peter Muturi Njuguna, a Sunday school teacher at an Evangelical church in Thika, is accused that between the dates of June 18 2017 and the September 15 this year in Ngoingwa estate, he attempted to sodomise two boys and a girl aged 14, 12 and 17 respectively.
One of the boys is said to have been nursing a wound after undergoing the rite of passage.
However, the accused denied the charges.
The prosecution requested for more time to consolidate enough evidence due to the sensitive nature of the case. He asked the court to consider the fact that the three victims were siblings from the same family and the suspect is an elder in a local church.
Senior Resident Magistrate Grace Omodho granted the request.
