Man who defiled girl by lying to her with mandazis denied court appeal

Reuben Shituli, who as charged that he on February 10, 2012 defiled a 10-year-ols in Shikumu, Kakamega County has been denied appeal.

The girl in her testimony, said that Mr Shituli defiled her and gave her two mandazis to buy her silence.

This led to his sentencing to life imprisonment.

In his appeal, Shituli claimed that he was being framed by his political enemies in his submission.

Appearing before Justice Jesse Njagi for an appeal, Shituli also said that in his initial court submissions, the magistrate had failed to appreciate the contradiction in the prosecution case.

However, Justice Njagi dismissed the appeal and upheld the previous conviction.

“On my own analysis, I find the appellant was convicted on credible evidence. The contradictions were minor and could not affect the outcome of the case,” stated Mr Njagi.
