A police officer from Diani Police Station has been remanded for allegedly defiling his 16-year-old stepdaughter, Jacqueline, over a period of three years, starting when she was 13. The incident reportedly began in 2022, with the officer allegedly giving her an alcoholic drink before the assault.

• The victim's mother reported the matter after Jacqueline's teachers noticed her distress.
• The accused, Collyman Dyera Zeeta, was arrested in Kilifi County.
• Jacqueline's mother alleges that the plea has been delayed due to the accused's relation to a senior official in the Office of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).
• The family has relocated due to safety concerns, and the case is scheduled for plea taking next week.
