REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT GARISSA CRIMINAL CASE NO. 12 OF 2014 REPUBLIC....................................................................PROSECUTOR VERSUS ABDIRAHAMAN MOHAMED HAJIR............................ACCUSED SENTENCE I have considered the mitigating as well as the aggravating factors. The accused is a first offender. His counsel Mr. Nyaga has passionately said that he is a family man and comes from Ethiopia. The maximum sentence for murder is death. The way the offence was committed was like a well-planned and targeted execution of the deceased. The accused also attempted to shoot those who chased him, and possibly threw a grenade at them. The attackers of the defenseless deceased were three. In my view, this is a case calling for the death penalty. I sentence the accused to suffer death as provided by law for the offence of murder. Right of appeal explained. Dated and delivered at Garissa this 26th November, 2018. GEORGE DULU JUDGE
