A middle-aged man was on Wednesday sentenced to serve two years in jail by a Murang'a court after he pleaded guilty to charges of destroying his mother's assorted household goods.
Fredrick Muriungi was charged that on March 18 at Gitiri village of Kahuro Sub County, Murang'a, he maliciously damaged a gate, window panes and assorted household items all valued at Sh30, 000, property of her mother Esther Kakunda.
The accused who appeared before Chief Magistrate Peter Ndigwa pleaded guilty saying his actions were a result of anger and intoxication.
He also stated that he only destroyed a few of the very many utensils in the cupboard, which he did not believe was a serious issue.
