Woman added 15 years in prison for poisoning daughterHalima Sheila Bwakali at Kakamega law courts. At the neighbour’s house, Halima is said to have been offered food but she declined to eat. Consequently, the magistrate overlooked the recommendations and slapped her with seven-year sentence for attempted murder and one year sentence for attempted suicide, sentences running concurrently. He said that the offence brought to end an innocent life adding that a non-custodial sentence was unsuitable for the offence. I consider a prison sentence to be appropriate in the circumstances and sentence her to 15 years imprisonment,” said Justice Njagi.
