Zahir Osman Ali who admitted the charge of killing his brother through dangerous driving was in disbelief when Mombasa Resident Magistrate Christine Ogweno read his sentence. He faced a maximum of ten years imprisonment if the magistrate had opted for a custodial sentence. “The deceased is the accused person’s brother, the witnesses are all family members and the matter has taken a toll on the family. “I note the weighty facts presented herein seeing that the deceased and the accused were family members,”. Three other family members who were in the vehicle sustained minor injuries and were discharged after being treated in hospital.
