Police in Kisii County are holding two suspects in connection to the rape of a graduand on Saturday.

Mr Francis Kerongo, Kisii University's Dean of Students, said the girl was attacked after going for clearance ahead of graduation on December 20.

That evening, she took a boda boda to her friend's house, where she was to spend the night.

However, the boda boda rider took her to his house.

“Upon getting there, they were joined by another man before she was reportedly raped,” Mr Kerongo said on Monday.

Kisii County Police Commander Martin Kibet said the suspects will be arraigned on Tuesday.

He said investigations will establish the events of that day.
