REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT MERU CRIMINAL CASE NO. 83 OF 2012 REPUBLIC.................PROSECUTOR VERSUS BONIFACE MWITI..........ACCUSED 29/1/2019 Hon. Justice F.M GIKONYO J. C/c Mwenda M/S Murithi for state Murthi for accused Accused – I understand Kiswahili COURT SENTENCE I have considered mitigation by the accused. He is a young person with young family. He is also remorseful and pleads for leniency. I note that the probation report recommends non- custodial sentence. However this is a serious offence and of gender based violence on women. I will therefore mete out a jail term. But as he has been in custody for 6 years, I will sentence him to serve a jail term of 10 years. Sentenced accordingly under Section. 204 of C.P.C F. GIKONYO JUDGE 29/01/2019
