Friday, September 26,
2025 - A Ngong court has sentenced three men to life imprisonment after
convicting them of robbery with violence in a case that shocked residents of
Kajiado County.
The trio, Brian Kutitila Wanyama, Japhnae Wanyonyi Mukalama,
and Thomas Wakoli Malava, were found guilty of violently robbing Andrew Muthure
Wairia on December 18th, 2021, in Kibiku, Kajiado West.
According to the Office of the Director of Public
Prosecutions (ODPP), the attackers stole a Huawei Y9 phone worth Ksh 24,990, a
memory card valued at Ksh 3,995, and a pair of Reebok shoes worth Ksh 4,000.
They also transferred Ksh 3,970 from the victim’s mobile
money account to a number registered under Wanyama’s name.
The victim was assaulted during the robbery and left with
injuries.
The court ruled that the prosecution had proven all elements
of robbery with violence beyond reasonable doubt, handing life sentences to all
three.
In addition, Wanyama received a two-year sentence for
resisting arrest on December 29th, 2021, in Bulbul, Kajiado North.
Malava was also convicted in a separate robbery case from
September 5th, 2021, in Oloolua, Kajiado North.
He and accomplices violently robbed Patrick Nyaga Kariuki of
items including a smart TV, concrete vibrator, mobile phones, and Ksh 50,000 in
cash, valued at Ksh 227,000 in total.
He received a second life sentence for this offence.
The convictions mark a significant win for the ODPP in
tackling violent crime in the region.
