Long time since I was here......but am back, and spreading a smile to people, well....trying.
Today my biff is with men who force themselves on women...oh heck, why am I sugarcoating it??? RAPISTS!
A young girl, in her early twenties walks into the consultation room, she is small bodied, well dressed, decent young girl. a student in one of the universities. She proceeds to narrate to me the goings on of the previous night...she had been on her way to visit her boyfriend, unfortunately the pathway to the apartment complex was dark and deserted. Fortunately for her, a policeman joined her on the path and offered to escort her through the menacing darkness.{ Come on girls, we all have a weakness for a man in uniform..(Prince William in his majestic wedding day outfit quickly comes to mind...I digress)} As they progress along the poorly lit path another cop turns up and before she knows it the poor girl is thrown into a deserted structure by the "good Samaritan cop"...who goes ahead and does stuff I can not even bring myself to recall. All this while, His "friend" is looking out for him, to finish his rendezvous!
Poor girl after the heinous act was over, stumbled to her boyfriend's house a few yards away....did what comes most naturally to most, showered and changed her clothes then went to report the case to the nearest police station(The IRONY!). She then had to see a doctor to fill in the forms required and do a medical examination and collect any forensic evidence so as to aid in the persecution of the assailant. I do what i can, but in terms of forensic evidence, am at a loss...the evidence was washed away....
By the time am done with my examination of the survivor, she is grief stricken, she has cried her heart out, she looks so vulnerable, lost, defiled, damaged, sad, suspicious, scared, mortified........ a small tear escaped from my eye, all i wanted to do is hug her and hold her tight and tell her its not her fault, we will get the bastard and possibly consider killing him!!!
But the law is the law and we have to respect the motions....but were it up to me, ALL RAPISTS SHOULD BE CASTRATED!(Chemical/Physical-burdizzo would be a plan) Then put in a deep deep dungeon to die a slow, sad, painful death! And when it is from those meant to protect us....the punishment should be..........
Lets stay safe! and there's a campaign called "Sitakimya" am behind it all the way!
Hi former neighbour... Nice piece I should say. I just want put 1 point across. I believe in this day and age taking a shower should not eliminate or even distort all the evidence. The way investigations are conducted in Kenya I believe are what leave a lot to be desired. This said, I want to encourage anyone who has gone through this horrific act not to loose hope but to present themselves to the authorities even after they may have showered or washed their clad. There is evidence in science that DNA samples have been identified on garment after several years.. So we just hope that our investigators up their game..
