The police say it is unlikely 16 year old Busia girl popularly known as just 'Liz' was gang raped. The Inspector General of Police David Kimaiyo made the revelation on Saturday just two days after women's advocacy group Femnet mounted demonstrations outside his Jogoo House Office.
"Unfortunately, our investigations have revealed information which the public do not have and which members of the public need to appreciate before they offer a blanket condemnation on the incident," he said in a statement. Kimaiyo said the findings of their investigations do not corroborate the girl's account pointing out that the time that elapsed between Liz calling out for help and her being found did not allow for a gang rape. "The time span between the screams for help and when the villagers actually came out to her rescue is given as too short for six assailants to have gang raped her," Kimaiyo's statement reads.
Kimaiyo also based his analysis on the fact that Liz was repeatedly asked both by her mother and medical personnel whether she was raped and she responded to the negative.
