A 23-year-old woman was yesterday arrested for allegedly procuring an abortion and disposing the foetus in a neighbour’s farm. Ann Wangui was nabbed by police in Mau Narok after the residents reported her.
Police chief Johnston Ipara said the suspect procured the abortion under undetermined conditions and thereafter dumped the foetus in Muthere Farm within the Mwisho wa Lami area. “Her decision to perform the action was illegal and she did not undergo any medical check-up to indicate her misfit to carry the pregnancy to birth,” said Ipara.
Ipara said area residents were surprised to see her with neither the pregnancy nor the baby before the completion of the nine month’s pregnancy period. “They questioned her and she revealed that she had done an abortion and directed them to the place she had dumped the baby,” said Ipara.
Ipara said the suspect claimed that she did not want to bear the public shame of bearing a child before being married. The police later visited the scene and took the foetus to Nakuru Municipal Mortuary. Wangui will appear in court today.
