Former Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) officer Major Peter Mugure Mwaura has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the brutal murder of his estranged wife and their two children in October 2019 in Nayuki.
In sentencing the former military officer on Tuesday, Milimani High Court Judge Martin Muya said he had shown no remorse for the horrific killings and the case represents the growing femicide in the country.
"However, the convict has not shown any iota of remorse. The offence of murder carries severe punishment. This was a femicide offence and these are offences that have become rampant in the country and call for severe punishment," Justice Muya ruled.
