The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has pronounced death sentences on Nashon Ochieng Agutu and Jackson Okech Odhiambo, following their conviction for four counts of armed robbery with violence. Agutu and Odhiambo were found guilty, following a full trial at the Moyale Law Courts, of contravening Section 295 and 296(2) of the Penal Code.
Senior Principal Magistrate Willy Cheruiyot delivered the verdict after the prosecution presented evidence implicating the two accused in the violent robbery. The incident occurred on April 23, 2025, in the Dabel area of Moyale Sub-County, Marsabit County, where the accused, along with others, armed with guns, robbed four victims of cash, mobile phones, and other personal belongings.
The victims sustained injuries during the attack. The prosecution, led by Benard Leadi, called 13 witnesses to support their case. The court considered the brutality of the assault, the use of lethal weapons, and the nature of the robbery in determining the death sentences. Agutu and Odhiambo are given 14 days to appeal the conviction and sentence.
