SWISS NATIONAL ARRESTED FOR DEFILEMENT
An 85-year-old Swiss national, Gisler Emil Johann, has been arrested in Watamu after allegedly defiling a 15-year-old minor.
The case unfolded after the victim’s parents reported her missing on 1st February 2026. Despite efforts to trace her, she could not be found.
Acting on a tip-off from members of the public that a foreigner was seen with a juvenile in one of Watamu’s villas, police moved swiftly and discovered Gisler with the minor inside the residence.
The suspect was immediately taken into custody, while the victim was escorted to Gede Sub-County Hospital for medical examination.
Gisler remains in police custody undergoing processing pending his arraignment.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) reaffirms its commitment to protecting the most vulnerable members of our communities by conducting thorough investigations to ensure that perpetrators of such heinous crimes are held accountable.
