REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT NAIROBI (NAIROBI LAW COURTS) Criminal Case 81 of 2005 REPUBLIC…............................………….………PROSECUTOR -VERSUSFRANCIS MBOGO WAMBUGU….……………………....ACCUSED 8/10/09 Coram: Lesiit, J Susan/Elisha - court clerk Accused - present Gikonyo for State Mr. Mbiyu - for accused Court JUDGMENT I have considered that the accused has pleaded guilty to the charge of murder. The statement last made that he did not plan to kill the child coming from a lawyer is a misleading statement and I think that it is intended to derail the proceedings which I will not allow. I have considered that the accused has admitted collecting his son from his sister’s house taking it to his house dismembers it and wrapping it in a pair of bed sheets until passers by were attracted by a foul smell coming from his house. There is nothing more chilling than a father who admits cutting up his own child, into small pieces which I see from the photographs before the court. The doctors confirm he was in his proper mind, in full control of his senses. I do consider this act a murder most foul. As accused was warned there is no other sentence for the charge except death. I therefore sentence the accused to death as provided by the law. Right of appeal explained. LESIIT, JUDGE. 8TH OCTOBER, 2009
