A Windsor Boys’ School maintenance man who contemplated suicide after being accused of rape walked free from court this week to ‘start his life again’.
Kenyan-born Urbanus Muloki Kilonzo, of Maidenhead Road, was found not guilty at Reading Crown Court on Monday of five counts put against him after his arrest a year ago.
The 37-year-old has been a member of support staff at the school in Maidenhead Road since 2005. He had been suspended from his duties, but is now free to return to the job he enjoys.
He said: “When I left the court I started crying and it was not a celebration, it was of relief that I am now out of this and can start my life again.”
Mr Kilonzo was cleared of rapes in Windsor between July 16 and August 16, 2006, and January 1, 2009, and June 21, 2009 and between January 1 and January 31 in 2010.
He was also found not guilty of threatening to burn down a house and one of common assault, said to have taken place on March 15, 2010.
Lesley Bates, defending, in summarising the case on Friday said the allegations had all been ‘a pack of lies’.
And Tony Willis, deputy headteacher at Windsor Boys’ School, took to the stand on Friday as a witness, speaking in support of Mr Kilonzo.
He said: “If there is a thing as a model employee he would fit the bill and there is absolutely no negative comments about Kilonzo.”
