It was during that struggle that he allegedly inserted his fingers into her private parts.
The complainant said she bit him on the left small finger which prompted him to get off her. A student who was in the hostel also came to the scene.
Muchoki fled the scene and accidentally droppd his phone. The complainant took the phone to the hostel manager who identified the owner before reporting the matter to Ruaraka police station. Muchoki was arrested and taken in custody.
