REPUBLIC OF KENYA High Court at Machakos Criminal Case 91 of 2008 REPUBLIC VERSUS DAVID MWANGANGI KILONZI .………….….….…......… ACCUSED SENTENCE I have considered the facts and circumstances of this case. I have also considered the mitigating factors. The accused is a step son of the deceased. The deceased married the mother of the accused after his father died. The accused used a poisonous arrow to injure the deceased, resulting in death. The accused is a first offender. He is remorseful. He is a young man aged 32 years and has been in custody since he was arrested, about 4 years ago. He might have had issues with the deceased as his step father. However, I am of the view that using a poisoned arrow on someone is quite a serious undertaking, with serious consequences. Considering all the facts and circumstances of the matter, I sentence the accused to serve eight (8) years imprisonment. He may appeal within fourteen (14) days. Dated at Machakos this 10th day of December 2012. George Dulu Judge In presence of:N/A for State Accused present in person Mutinda – Court clerk
