REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT VOI HCCR MSC NO E049 OF 2021 JOHN MBURU WAMBUI.................................................APPLICANT VERSUS STATE..............................................................................RESPONDENT JUDGMENT I have carefully considered the Petition and the circumstances of robbery. The petitioner has been in jail since 2010. The robbery committed was bad but by God's grace nobody suffered any injuries. I have considered the mitigation of the Petitioner. I believe that the 11 years served is adequate atonement for his crime. I therefore henceforth lift the death sentence imposed upon the Petitioner. Instead thereof I jail the Petitioner to the term equivalently to that served, with the result that the petitioner is forthwith released from prison unless lawfully withheld. E.Ogola-Judge 10.3.2021
