PETER BARAZA ……………………………………….……………ACCUSED

VERSUS

REPUBLIC ……………………………………….……………..RESPONDENT

(From original Conviction and Sentence in the Criminal Case No. 477 of 2008 of the Resident Magistrate’s court at Wundanyi: F. Munyi –RM).

JUDGMENT

The Accused was convicted and sentenced to seven years imprisonment for burglary and stealing. He was treated as a first offender. He is alleged to have stolen a pair of slippers and Malaria tablets.The state concedes to this appeal.

I am satisfied that he has undergone enough punishment considering the period he has been in custody since the year 2008. It is ordered that the sentence be reduced to the term he has already served in custody and imprisonment.

Accordingly he will be released.

Dated, delivered and signed in open court at Mombasa this 15th day of October, 2012.
