The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has secured a major conviction after four men were found guilty in a violent robbery case in Rongai Sub-County, Nakuru County.
The Molo Magistrate’s Court convicted Knab Ouma Obach, Abraham Isaac Oriosa, Dennis Nyariki Nyareeru, and James Changamu Nchore on multiple serious charges, including robbery with violence, rape, and indecent acts involving both a child and an adult.
The court heard that on the night of June 24, 2023, at around 8:00 p.m., the four, alongside accomplices still at large, attacked a home in Roret Nashville Village while armed with dangerous weapons such as a pistol, slasher, hammer, hacksaw, and knife.
During the incident, they violently robbed Rhoda Kwamboka Nyambati of household goods, electronics, clothing, gas cylinders, poultry, and cash totaling KSh 166,000.
Prosecution, led by Principal Prosecution Counsel Peninah Owando, presented compelling evidence that placed the accused at the scene and demonstrated their coordinated involvement in the attack.
In its ruling, the court found that the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the conviction of all four accused persons.
Each of the convicts was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
