The Court of Appeal has upheld the death sentence imposed on an Administration Police officer for killing two men in Machakos county 10 years ago. He appealed against the ruling, but on July 24, this year, appellate judges William Ouko, Agnes Murgor and Kathurima M'inoti upheld the lower court's death sentence. The particulars of the case were that the AP murdered Ngugi and Maiyo on August 5, 2010, at Boma Villa bar and restaurant in Syokimau. Outside the bar, he shouted at Ngugi that Kajuju was his prostitute before landing blows on her until she fell. Maiyo was summoned to eject Mulwa from the bar but the officer shot him dead before turning his gun on Ngugi, shooting him four times.
