Bomet County police officers have launched a manhunt for a suspect who allegedly sodomized a drunk man.
The suspect identified as Silas is said to have locked the victim in his house for more than 10hours in Mosonik village of Kyogong location, Chepalungu constituency.
A statement from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Wednesday, November 23 stated that the suspect allegedly accosted the drunk 33-year-old man when he walked out of a local pub, where he was merry-making with his friends, to answer a call of nature.
Moreover, Silas is reported to have waited for the victim to stagger back into the pub when he approached him and led him to his house close to the premise.
Likewise, efforts to raise an alarm by the victim did not bear any fruit due to the loud music from the pub muted.

“Efforts by the victim to raise alarm as he was led by Silas to his chambers were unsuccessful, as his incoherent screams were drowned by the loud stereo in the pub playing local popular hit song ‘Gloria’ as the rest of the equally inebriated revelers slurred and danced along,” said DCI.
Furthermore, the DCI reported that Silas held the victim until Tuesday, November 22 afternoon when a passerby heard a commotion coming from the house and came to the aid of the victim.
The victim was rushed to Longisa county and referral hospital for treatment and the relevant tests conducted.
