REPUBLIC OF KENYA
IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT GARISSA
CRIMINAL CASE NO. 5 OF 2019
REPUBLIC................................................PROSECUTION
VERSUS
JOSIAH MUSYOKA MWANZIA......................ACCUSED
SENTENCE
The court has considered the fact that the accused is a first offender, he has been in custody for 3 years 9 months and is remorseful.
The court has equally taken into account that the menace; domestic violence is still on the rise, men killing their wives or girlfriends at the slightest provocation is becoming an every day affair and more so in this jurisdiction and a strong message must be passed to all that it is against tenets of human rights, it is not acceptable in a civilized society, it is cruel and barbaric and must be condemned.
Against the above background and considering the time the accused served in custody awaiting trial I sentence him to 30 years imprisonment.
DATED SIGNED & DELIVERED IN GARISSA THIS 10TH DAY OF MARCH, 2022.
