Former Ruaraka OCS Nahashon Mutua has been sentenced to death after he was found guilty of killing a miraa trader in 2013. High Court Judge Stella Mutuku on Thursday said the prosecution has proved its case beyond reasonable doubt. She said Martin Koome received inhumane treatment and there is no doubt that Mutuku caused his death.
In a high court ruling last year, Mutua was found guilty of killing Koome, an inmate at Ruaraka Police Station. He tried to frame Kevin Odhiambo, another inmate at the station, for it. Koome was a miraa trader at Baba Dogo shopping centre in Ruaraka, Nairobi.
He had returned home drunk after the day’s work and is said to have had “normal” domestic squabbles with his wife.
