An Embu court has fined a man Sh80,000 or serve one year in prison for stealing a woman’s underwear. The accused, Pius Mugendi had denied stealing the underwear on May 28 last year at Mikimbi village in the county. After reviewing CCTV footage, they noticed somebody had intruded into the building at around 11 pm. “I have a wife and children and pray for leniency from the court,” Mugendi pleaded in mitigation. “He seems remorseful; however, he engaged in disrespectful and annoying deeds and the court fines him Sh80,000 or serve one-year imprisonment,” Ndeng’eri ruled.
