A 22-year-old man attempted to commit suicide on Monday after being arraigned for allegedly defiling a 16-year-old girl.
Joshua Maina Toto hit his head against the court floor shouting that he was tired of life and wanted to die.
The court orderly intervened.
Maina was arraigned under a miscellaneous application as police sought more time to detain him as they continue investigations.
Corporal Jackline Amakumba, attached to Capital Hill police station, told senior principal magistrate Bernard Ochoi that she needed five days to complete investigations.
She stated that the mother of the complainant reported the defilement on April 30, 2021, alleging that her daughter was defiled between April 14 and 20, 2021.
“The girl was escorted to Nairobi Women’s Hospital where she was treated and since the matter was reported on a Friday, I was unable to fill the P3 form for the complainant, the following week the complainant went back to school,” the officer said.
The court heard Maina was arrested on May 29, which was a weekend and police were unable to escort him to the government chemist for examination.
