Kenya Nairobi Rape Statistics Between Dec 30th - April 2008

[Sunyaski]

Nothing in the history of Kenya prepared the local forensic community for the mass fatalities that were witnessed in the Post Election Violence of 2007.

Much in the history of mass rape events however prepared the world’s forensic community for the task of identifying those who perpetrated mass rapes following Kenya’s post election violence between Dec 2007 and Feb 2008.Post Mortem analysis of Mass rapes in Bosnia and those perpetrated in 1994 during the Rwandan Genocide were well documented and researched for all and sundry to read.
Kenya police statistics on the incidence of rape reported to the police indicate that 1,291 cases were reported in 2006 and 876 in 2007 nationally.
We report here mainly from the post election violence period of cases available from hospitals.
· Victims of rape tended to be women of all ages ranging from 9 month old to 105 years of age.

· To date, 30th April 2008,CSI Nairobi estimates that in Nairobi and its environs alone, over 1,400 women and children have been raped. This is higher than the 1,291 cases reported country wide in 2006 and almost double that reported country wide in 2007.

· This alarming trend can be explained by the high rate of recidivism in the crime of rape. Once a rapist’s believes he can get away with the crime he will continue raping until he is caught (therefore becoming a Serial Rapist). During the post election violence, CSI Nairobi estimated that 1,700 men took part in raping an estimated 600 women in Nairobi alone, the majority in gang rapes involving not less than 3 men. We can therefore extrapolate that there are approximately over 1,700 serial rapists prowling the streets of Nairobi Kenya. Most rapes (over 73%) in March 2008 and at least 47% of those in April 2008 can be attributed to these serial rapists.

· CSI Nairobi using Bode Technology of the United States is profiling about half of all these cases.

· Rape among women was more likely to be perpetrated by men unknown to them. Thus among women who said they were raped during the post election violence 40%were raped by unknown men as opposed to 20% who were raped by relatives or men who were intimate with the victims.

· Among those rapes reported to the police a higher proportion (60%) were said to have been committed by strangers.

· The Police found that most rapes were carried out by multiple perpetrators.

· In most cases, women were raped with the threat of physical injury, and often with the use of knives or at gunpoint. Almost half of all rapes occurred inside the homes of victims.

· Data available to CSI Nairobi indicates that the current rapes (April 2008) are being perpetrated by persons known to the rape survivor (53%).

· If this trend is unchecked, Kenya will only be second to South Africa in incidences of rape.

· Findings from the rape analysis undertaken by CSI Nairobi show that, most of rapes occurred more frequently than the average on Saturdays (23.7% of all reported cases), particularly between 19h00and01h00.

· In-house studies confirm the finding that approximately a quarter of all who experienced rape reported the incident to the police.

When a nation becomes this corrupted with no law and order, God sends severe punishment to that nation and everyone suffers. Historically it has happened this way. Drought, storms, and all kinds of calamities are the result of unethical and cruel behavior.
If Kenyans want blessings they better clean their actions. Prayers do not matter, it is daily actions of life that are prayers.
By the way police of Kenya is more corrupted than the public.
Once the situation goes this bad it hardly turns around. Sad !
