Between

Phillip Kiptoo Kipkorir

Applicant

and

Republic

Respondent

(From the original conviction and sentence in Winam SPM Cr. Case No. 646 of 2014 and Kisumu HCRA 28 of 2016)

Ruling

1. The applicant claims in his application dated 13/5/2024 that he was convicted of the offence of robbery with violence under Section 296 (2) of the Penal Code and was sentenced to death. That he appealed Vide Kisumu HC CRA No. 28 of 2016 which appeal was dismissed. That the death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment in 2016 by the President. He now seeks for reduction of sentence as he has been in prison for 10 years and was in remand custody for 2 years and 3 months before he was sentenced.

2. I have perused the application which is not supported by any material and I find no substance in it. It is hereby dismissed.

3. Signal to issue.
