STEP DAD handed 25 for killing 2 year old SON in Nakuru


Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - A middle aged man was sentenced to serve 25 years behind bars in Nakuru for murder. He is said to have killed his two year old step son.

The Nakuru court heard that on June 15, 2009 George Otieno was left to take care of the minor while his mother went towork. It was during this time that he is suspected to have hit the young kid with a blunt object.

According to medical reports the two year old died out of a ruptured spleen after he was hit by a blunt object. The boy’s mother confessed that Otieno had been mistreating her son since he was not the biological father of the child.

In his defense Otieno told the court that he had left the child with other children while he went to work and later found him vomiting blood. He rushed him to hospital where he died as the doctors tried to save his life.

Justice Roselyn Wendoh however said that Otieno’s testimony was not reasonable and convincing and since he is the one who was left to take care of the child, he was answerable to the death of the child.
