IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA
AT NYAHURURU
{Coram. C. Kariuki - J}
CRIMINAL CASE NO. 14 OF 2017
REPUBLIC………………………………………………..PROSECUTOR
VERSUS
DAVID NYAGA ……………………………………………..APPELLANT
SENTENCING
This is a case where the accused is charged with the offence of murder and has been convicted and the matter is for sentencing.
The circumstances of killing according to facts accepted by the court is that the deceased broke accused’s window of the bar which made the accused to chase and attack accused and then throw him in the dam after injuring him thus inflicting injuries to him and causing him to drown.
The provocation of breaking the bar window is not a justification for taking law into his own hand by injuring and drowning the deceased.
The facts that he has 10 children and he is the sole bread weaner ought to have made him more cautious in being such violent and inhuman.
Thus the court has noted he is repentant and remorseful however he has to pay for the brutal act.
He is thus sentenced to serve 25 years imprisonment.
Right of appeal 14 days.
