Three Kenyans found guilty of robbery and sexual violence against women, sentenced to death by hanging. On Wednesday, July 19, reports the Daily Nation.
It is noted that the death sentence was handed down for robbery with violence. For sexual harassment they received 25 years in prison, but this measure was immediately repealed in accordance with the principle of absorption of punishments.
The judge stated that the defendants participated “in a senseless and flagrant act, which they probably enjoyed because they expressed delight, Stripping a woman.” “What you thought was a joke, should not get away with, since the personal space of women and the rules of decency must be respected in all circumstances,” the judge was quoted by local newspaper the Star.

Bus driver Nicholas Mwangi (Mwangi Nicholas), together with the conductor Meshack Mwangi (Meshack Mwangi) and the employee of the filling station Edward Ndungu (Edward Ndung’u) attacked a passenger.
