According to the DPP, the prosecution, represented by Miss Jane Gitahi, presented a compelling case, calling upon seven witnesses to testify.
“The accused person is said to have lured the minor from where she was playing with her friends in the pretext of going to buy candy for her.
The prosecution through Miss Jane Gitahi called seven (7) witnesses, and when the accused was placed on his defense, he was unable to dislodge the prosecution case,” the statement read.
ODPP said the accused, in his defence, failed to undermine the prosecution’s case, leading to the severe sentencing.
