PROSECUTION AND JOSEPH WAMBUA NGILE ......................................................................... ACCUSED SENTENCE 1. The accused herein was charged with murder but convicted of a lesser ofience of manslaughter contrary to section 202 as read with section 205 of the Penal Code. 2. I have considered the pre-sentence report and the mitigating factors disclosed to this court. I note that the Probation Officer has suggested a probation sentence. In my view however, a non-custodial sentence is not appropriate herein. An innocent life has been lost and the matter proceeded to full trial. 3. I sentence the accused herein to five (5) years imprisonment. In this regard, I am aware that this is a 2017 case. It is so ordered. DELIVERED, SIGNED & DATED THIS 19TH DAY OF MAY, 2022, IN OPEN COURT AT MAKUENI. …………………………………. GEORGE DULU JUDGE https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/kehc/2022/629/eng@2022-05-19 1
