KENYA: MAN SENTENCED TO HANG FOR MURDERING COUPLE

A Nakuru court sentenced to death a man accused of killing a couple that owned a private school in Nakuru in 2012. Relatives of the late Alfred Gatienya Githinji and his wife Mary sobbed as Principal Magistrate James Mwaniki read how John Wanyoike Watuleke murdered them. "We have been waiting bitterly for justice for the last three years and God has done his work finally," said a relative of the Maryanne Tee Academy owners. Prosecution evidence revealed Wanyoike was found with items of the deceased in Kitale, several kilometres from the crime scene.
