REPUBLIC OF KENYA
IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT MERU
HIGH COURT CRIMINAL 49 OF 2013
REPUBLIC ............................................................PROSECUTOR
VERSUS
PIUS MWITI MUTHEE ..............................................ACCUSED
COURT
I have considered all the mitigation stated by counsel for the accused. I have also considered the Probation O
fficer’s report which recommends non-custodial sentence.
Nonetheless, the commission of the offence, the manner of execution and reason that the deceased bewitched his son, require a deterrent sentence. As a pastor he should have known better of the consequences of his actions.
I therefore sentence him to serve a jail term of 25 years commencing from 25/5/2013. Right of appeal explained.
