Boda boda rider slapped with 15-year jail term for raping his 57-year-old client

A boda-boda a rider who was caught on the act after taking advantage of the darkness and raping a woman aged 57 years old will now remain to be a prison guest after he was sentenced to 15 years jail term.

John Muiruri was accused of raping the woman on June 28, 2015, in Laikipia County. The court heard that he intentionally and unlawfully without her consent forced his way with the woman. He was sentenced six months after trial.

During the trial at the lower court, the court heard that the complainant had boarded Muiruri’s motorbike following nightfall.

He, unfortunately, took a different direction leading to a thicket where he stopped, pulled her from the bike and dragged her to the ground. He then proceeded to partially undress her, tied up her hands then forcibly penetrated her. Members of the public came upon the scene before he was able to finish.

The complainant’s testimony being clear and unambiguous she further told the court that members of the public apprehended him at the scene of the crime raping her.

“He was made to sit near her as she lay on the ground with her panties removed and biker torn. Members of the public also assaulted him, before handing him over to the police who arrived shortly thereafter,” the judgment read in part.

Muiruri appealed against both conviction and sentence on grounds that the complainant’s testimony was riddled with contradictions and inconsistencies while the prosecution witnesses were not reliable at all and further added that the trial court rejected his defence.

In his submissions, he additionally indicated that other witnesses were not called to testify and the case was not proved beyond any doubt, an argument that was rubbished by the state counsel.

During the appeal, the court noted that there was no consent during the heinous act but Muriruri took advantage of an elderly lady who was, unfortunately, going home at night.

The prosecution case was proved beyond any reasonable doubts as his defence was clearly an afterthought that did not succeed in raising any reasonable doubt thus the rejection.

Evaluating the evidence, the court found out that Muiruri’s conviction was safe and upon good and sound evidence.

“There is no merit in the appeal against conviction, and the same is hereby dismissed,” judge H.P.G. Waweru ruled.

As for the sentence, the same was not only lawful but also richly deserved and probably on the lower side given the circumstances of the offence.

“I do not find it manifestly harsh or excessive, and I have no reason to interfere with it,” Waweru added.

Tabia mbaya but huwezi jua, you can’t rule out that the lady has a husband and could not bear the shame of people stumbling upon their risky rezndevous by people known to them thus chose to implicate the poor fella.

No, I think there were enough prosecution witnesses to place Muiruri at the scene.

Do you remember linturis case juzi tu? Ati he touched me for 30mins and penetrated my vagina until I realized he wasn’t my husband :D:D:D

Very well stated, your honour. ‘Richly deserved’ sounds good. The heartless bastardo is an enemy of the people.

Now that was an idiotic woman clogging the system.

Gotta love the rule of law, huyo Ile kuchunishwa atachunishwa.

:D:D:D apewe 5months jail term juu ata hakumaliza.

I agree. Nashuku the woman was in on it too.

Sorry, there is no discount on that item, Sir!:smiley:

But this guy was found red handed. If the 2oman had consented why did he tie up her hands? Ama they were having bdsm in the bush? :D:D

It’s not making sense, at night, in a thicket and members of the public found them,yet he had not ejaculated

:D:D:D:D:D

Wewe muyinga, issue is not being placed at the scene. Issue is consent. What @poyoloko the homo is trying to argue is that the act might have been consensual but after villagers stumbled upon the two, the woman changed her story because she has an image to protect in society.

Wewe ni kama uko na shida ya comprehension. Ambia @Tom Bayeye akulambe mcoondu uskie msuuri saidi.

It does not matter if it was consentual, enough people placing you at the scene and your goose is cooked.

Also, be fruity without tagging me.

Nimetag the uber driver, @poyoloko, not you. You’ve been responding to his every post ever since you noticed his wife left him after he lost his uber job.
