A Kenyan Certified Nursing Assistant, Joseph Wakarugi Thurura, 31, of Kent, Washington, was arrested today and has been charged with second degree rape after the 44-year old physically and mentally disabled woman under his care suffered a miscarriage in March.
A DNA test of all the men that came into contact with the woman proved Thurura’s probable paternity by an accuracy of 99.99%.
Thurura cared for the woman at the Integrated Living Services in Kent, Washington. Kent is 20 miles south-east of Seattle, Washington.
Prosecutors are pushing for sentencing beyond the 6-8 year maximum sentence for this type of case. Bail has been set at USD$250,000 and Thurura remains behind bars this afternoon. He will be arraigned July 2nd.
This comes barely two weeks after Fred Magondu was accused of a similar crime in Pennsylvania and about two months after Joseph Njonge was accused of murdering an elderly woman under his care when he worked as a CNA in Washington state.
In a recent interview with Kenya’s Standard newspaper, Njonge repeated that what he had said before that he was innocent. He is in jail waiting arraignment.
Local paper accounts:
The Okuyus are outdoing each other stealing votes, beheadingJaluos, and raping minors
Hii ni balaa gani imeangukia Wakenya America…? Kula malaya kama wataka kutomba…
what the hell is wrong with my fellow Kenyans? And don’t give me that bullshit of things happen and we don’t know what they are going through.Do they think they are the only bunch of people who left kenya and went Abroad? If one can’t deal with the pressure i suggest they stay home and give someone else the opportunity.
It often starts like that and before we know it other kenyan tribes follow suite. This time other kenyans have a chance to refrain from psychopathic behaviours only witnessed in kikuyus. I really pray that it does not come to the point where they hold others at ransom to commit such unthinkable crimes. Other crimes formerly only witnessed in kikuyuland spread to other parts of kenya. Pray to God that this time it stays there
better still this kikuyus need to learn how to beat their meat in the bathroom or atleast have an internet subscription.
Yani you people are so stuck on the Kikuyu that we have completely forgot that other tribes are also in Jail. Lest we not forget the one of the biggest IRS scams was committed by a Luhya and a female at that. People grow up, it aint just the Kyuks ni kila mtu.
It is a bad company to work for.
Susan, why do you say that the company is a bad one to work for?
