Police in Budalang’i Constituency, Busia County, are investigating an alleged gang rape involving a 117-year-old woman in Rukala Village, Bunyala South Ward.
According to Port Victoria Officer Commanding Station (OCS) Pauline Oluoch, the elderly woman, who lives alone, was found in her bedroom at around 11am in critical condition before being rushed to Port Victoria Hospital for treatment.
Oluoch said police had launched investigations into the incident and appealed to members of the public with information that could help identify and arrest the suspects to come forward.
She also urged families not to abandon or isolate their elderly relatives, particularly women, warning that leaving them without support could expose them to acts of violence and abuse.
The police have called for cooperation from residents as investigations continue, with authorities seeking to ensure that the victim receives justice.
