Mwanamke mmoja nchini Kenya amemuua mume wake aliyekuwa amelewa kufuatia ugomvi waliokuwa wakipigania chakula. Hukumu hiyo imetolewa na Jaji wa Mahakama Kuu, Roslyn Korir =========== A woman who killed her drunk husband in a fight over food will spend five years in prison after pleading guilty. High Court judge Roslyn Korir gave the woman labelled as CMW the 'lenient' sentence, noting that she had an opportunity of changing. At the same time, her family had tried to reconcile after the incident, which happened four year ago. The judge said efforts by the two families to reconcile were a noble cause, which ought to be encouraged as a way of maintaining peace. The woman had pleaded for a non-custodial sentence, after a plea bargaining arrangement with the Prosecution, but the court noted that the evidence before the court showed her threatening the husband with death before. The woman had been charged with murder but the State reduced the charge to manslaughter after she agreed to plead guilty on November 24, 2014. Justice Korir in her judgment dated February 9, 2015 also noted that the woman fled after stabbing the father of her two children instead of calling for help. Chanzo: Standard Digital
