Reuben Sasaka, 51, and Thomas Walubengo, 49, pleaded guilty to murder of their brother Mark Talwai on July 16, 2014, in Tombo, Kakamega North District.
Four years after they were imprisoned however, Justice Jesse Njagi has said that the convicts are remorseful for killing their brother, adding that the period they were incarcerated was sufficient sentence for the offence.
The court heard that on the material day, Talwai stormed Sasaka’s house at 8pm and hit the lamp before starting to assault him.
