Friday, November 15, 2024 - On November 14, 2024, the Nakuru High Court sentenced Evance Kebwaro Michori to 28 years in prison as an accessory after the fact to murder.
Michori, one of six suspects implicated in a series of murders
in the Mawanga area of Bahati Sub-County, Nakuru County, on June 21, 2022, will
testify as a prosecution witness against the other five defendants.
The murders, which
took place on June 21, 2022, in Mawanga, Bahati, prompted an extensive
investigation, leading to the arrest of six suspects.
On August 2, 2022, the six were formally charged with four counts of murder in the Nakuru High Court.
After a detailed interrogation, Michori
confessed to being a member of the Confirm Gang- a criminal gang that was
operating within Nakuru and its environs.
He admitted to the murders of four women, whom the gang robbed and left to perish in their burning homes.
Michori’s confession was substantiated by additional forensic evidence meticulously gathered by investigators.
Following the collection and presentation of this evidence, Michori’s defence team negotiated a plea bargain agreement with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) in Nakuru.
The court accepted the plea deal on November 14, 2024, resulting in Michori’s 28-year sentence for being an accessory after the fact of murder.
In the upcoming trial, Michori will serve as a prosecution witness, providing crucial testimony against his five co-defendants.
