The High Court in Nairobi has found a man guilty of the premeditated murder of Mercy Wanjiku after a retrial, resolving a case that spanned over ten years. The victim was killed in her home in Ong’ata Rongai, Kajiado County, with forensic evidence pointing to "asphyxiation due to manual and ligature strangulation."

• The conviction was heavily influenced by the testimony of the couple's eldest child, who witnessed his father hit his mother with a stool during an argument.
• The accused's alibi, claiming he was at work in Joska and hospitalized, was deemed inconsistent and not credible by the judge.
• The court ruled that the prosecution proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused intentionally caused the death, convicting him of murder contrary to section 203 read with section 204 of the Penal Code.
