A court in Maralal, Samburu County, has acquitted a man accused of raping a woman.
Senior Principal Magistrate Temba Sitati acquitted Joseph Lokwawi, saying the evidence presented by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) was manufactured. "It is the judgement of the court that the DPP's evidence was incredible due to fabrication, and this doubt favours the defence.
The result is an acquittal of all charges under section 215 of the Criminal Procedure Code," said Sitati.
Lokwawi was accused that on October 5, 2023, in Maralal Town, Samburu County, he raped C.L.
