Stephen Munyakho, a Kenyan who has spent 14 years in a Saudi Arabian prison facing a death sentence, finally returned home today morning.
The International arrival terminal at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) turned into a scene of joy, tears, songs and prayer as family, friends, government officials and religious leaders gathered to receive him just minutes after 1am.
His mother, Dorothy Kweyu, rushed into her son's arms, tears flowing freely.
She had knocked on countless doors over the years, hoping against hope that one day she would hold her son again.
