A man in Nairobi has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after he was found guilty of sodomy.
Kibera Senior Principal Magistrate Monica Maroro found Kisilu Muindi guilty of sodomizing a man aged 28.
The court heard that Muindi invaded a kiosk where the victim was resting on July 8, 2021 and assaulted him
The incident occurred at Kabiria in Dagoretti, Nairobi.
Muindi cut the victim’s leg using a Panga before tying his hands with a piece of cloth and raping him.
The victim testified that Muindi threatened him moments after he committed the distasteful act.
“He told me to cooperate after cutting my leg inflicting me with serious injuries. After that, he told me that he was going to kill me if I refused to do as he requested,
“He raped me from behind and left me bleeding.
“He issued me with threats by saying that he was in a position to call the mob to kill me if I cried out for help,” he stated.
The victim was rescued by a good samaritan who bumped into him at the scene of crime.
Issuing the verdict, Justice Maroro affirmed that the evidence produced by the victim prove that the accused had committed the offence of sodomy
“Having considered both the defence and the accused person’s mitigation, I sentence him to 30 years in jail for the offence committed and he has 14 days to appeal if he wishes to do so.” Maroro ruled.
