Youth's arrest in gang rape case shows Kenya tackling 'epidemic'

Nairobi; Kenya: The arrest of a second youth in a high-profile case in which a 16-year-old girl was gang raped and dumped in a pit latrine, breaking her spine, shows Kenya is starting to tackle its "epidemic" of sexual violence, campaigners said.

Hundreds of activists marched on Kenya's police headquarters in protest last year after officers held three suspects in the case but released them after making them cut the grass at a police compound.
