Two Men Jailed for Life for Mugging a Pedestrian in Nairobi
Two young men have been slapped with a life sentence after they were found guilty of robbing a pedestrian in Nairobi two years ago.
Humprey Minyata Muhambe, 24, and Timothy Jahani Muzami, 28, were captured on a CCTV camera committing the offense on June 25th, 2020, along Rosewood Avenue in Nairobi’s Kilimani area while armed with a pistol and knife,
The two were later arrested and charged for violently robbing one Paul Sewe Omanyi of computers and other accessories all valued at more than Sh396,000.
Senior Principal Magistrate Zainab Abdul while sentencing the two on Thursday said she considered that such crime has increased, adding that the sentence should serve as a deterrent to young men.
The magistrate added that the two were not remorseful and that the pistol they used to commit the offense was never recovered by the police.
"I have considered that such crimes are rampant nowadays and the weapon used by the accused persons to rob the complainant was never recovered. It is still out there committing similar offenses," the magistrate noted.

I am very Happy for these 2 IDIOTS' life Sentences.

They've Recently been Recklessly "FOOLISH and MINDLESS" all over the Place. Rapings here, Stealing there, and Muggings and even MURDERS everywhere. Shame on Them. Bure kabisa!!!! these People.

Both should have received a death sentence. That is what they intended to do with the person they mugged. Stern measures must be taken to set a national example that if you commit a crime, you pay for it dearly. Kids from single mothers who just let them roam the streets like animals.

ABOVE THE LAW,Druglord Owino should be taken care of by a SHARPSHOOTER/SNIPER who will target his body organs he shot DJ Evolve.The law should be amended to have attempted murder be between state v/s defendant from complaint v/s defendant.I wish Noordin clarified on steps to be taken in case Evovle dies from the injuries coursed by Raila Ongili.
