A court in Yatta Constituency, Machakos County has slapped two men with a 10-year prison sentence after they were found guilty of murder.
According to court documents obtained by Citizen Digital, Kithimani court Principal Magistrate Paul Matanda Wechuli found Alphonse Kamwenga and Ronald Musyimi guilty of killing Patrick Kaloki on March 4, 2021.
In the two-year-long case, six witnesses appeared before the court to testify against the two, proving to the prosecution that the suspects were guilty of manslaughter charges.
The accused, in their defence, had told the court that they assaulted the deceased after rescuing their mother from being raped.
“Their assault directly led to his death. Both accused are therefore liable for the unlawful death of the deceased as charged,” read part of the documents.
