News from Kenya: appeal of a convict serving a 30-year jail term for rape charges has been thrown out by the High Court in Embu.
Simon Mutuku Musyoka raped a 18-year-old wman suffering from epilepsy at Mbondoni village of Mbeere South District. She had fallen down with seizure when the accused man worsened the situation by raping her without caring for her condition.
Musyoka appealed for reducing his sentence, claiming that the prosecution witnesses did not corroborate their evidence.
The Justice, however, ignored his request pointing out that the accused took advantage of the woman's seizure to sexually abuse her "in broad daylight". It was mentioned that the woman regained consciousness following the exercise and found Musyoka on top of her.
She begged him him to stop but he insisted that he had to finish the process.
Thus, the judge ruled that Musyoka was sentenced properly and that he should serve the jail term
