Full Case Text

REPUBLIC OF KENYA

IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT MERU

CRIMINAL CASE NO. 166 OF 2003

REPUBLIC...............................................PROSECUTOR

VERSUS

JOSHUA MWORIA MWITI.........................ACCUSED

13/12/2018

Court - I have considered the mitigation offered.  I have also considered the pre-sentencing report and the fact that the accused has been in custody for 15 years.  He should also get a chance to reform.  I will therefore sentence him to 5 years in prison.  Non- custodial sentence is not appropriate in this case.

Right of appeal for 14 days.

HON. JUSTICE F.M GIKONYO

JUDGE
