A man has been sentenced to life in prison after the High Court in Kakamega convicted him for the murder of a 16-year-old teenager.
While delivering the sentence, Justice Alice Bett stated that Isaiah Matukho Okhala, 51, did not show remorse despite the manner in which the teenager was murdered.
The trial judge also noted that the objectives of sentencing in 2022 are retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, restorative justice, community protection, denunciation, reconciliation and reintegration.
The prosecution told the court that the victim was a 16-year-old boy with mental challenges, hence a vulnerable child whom the accused took advantage of.
