The suspect, Collins Cheruyot

The Milimani Law Courts have arraigned a man for physically assaulting his younger brother by pressing his genitals, causing him bodily harm.

The man identified as Collins Cheruyot, is said to have assaulted his brother Allan Sang in Nairobi’s Upper Hill area after he allegedly stole his mobile phone and money.

A police report read out in court by State Prosecutor James Gachoka, revealed that Sang reported to the police that his brother elder brother Collins first stole his phone worth Ksh9,399 and his national identification card.
