Two men have been sentenced to death after being found guilty of four counts of robbery with violence in Dabel, Moyale Sub-County, Marsabit County.
Nashon Ochieng Agutu and Jackson Okech Odhiambo were convicted following a full trial at the Moyale Law Courts.
Senior Principal Magistrate Willy Cheruiot found the two guilty under Sections 295 and 296 of the Penal Code after the prosecution presented evidence linking them to the robberies.
The prosecution told the court that Agutu and Odhiambo acted together with other individuals during the attacks and were armed with weapons, including guns.
The group was accused of robbing four victims identified as Alinoor Mamo, Silus Kalunge, Linus Murithi, Marinda and Bruno Thomas.
The victims lost cash, mobile phones and other personal belongings during the incident.
They were also assaulted and sustained injuries in the attack.
The court considered the brutality involved and the use of lethal weapons before imposing the death sentence on both men.
Magistrate Cheruiot subsequently sentenced Agutu and Odhiambo to death.
The two men were granted 14 days to appeal against both their conviction and sentence.
The case involved four counts of robbery with violence arising from the incident in Dabel, Moyale Sub-County.
