Police in Makueni today took an about turn on the assault of a Makueni based lawyer Onesmus Masaku and arrested a police woman over the attack.
The assault took place in the lawyer's house last night and was initially reported by the police as the outcome of attempted rape.
The police had earlier released a crime report indicating injury of a police officer Nancy Njeri of Makueni Police Station, alleging she had been lured to the lawyer's house .
But the Makueni County Police Commander Joseph Ole Napeiyan this afternoon dismissed the earlier reports and confirmed the arrest of the officer Nancy Njeri with charges of serious assault of the Makueni based lawyer .
Speaking at Makueni Police Station, the Chairman of the Law Society of Kenya South Eastern Branch Mr. Justus Mutia similarly dismissed earlier reports of alleged rape .
Mutia also demanded that a thorough and independent investigation into the matter that he termed as attempted murder and not a grievous assault as viewed by the police.
He said the LSK is also conducting separate investigations and have involved IPOA .
Mutia also demanded that a neutral investigating officer from a different county takes up the matter citing a possible conflict of interest.
The suspect is expected to arraigned in court tommorow where a battle between police and the legal minds is expected.
