Korir v Republic (Criminal Application E021 of 2026) [2026] KECA 1560 (KLR) (31 July 2026) (Ruling)

Njira v Prosecution

Njira v Prosecution (Criminal Revision E011 of 2026) [2026] KEHC 11411 (KLR) (23 July 2026) (Ruling)

The applicant failed to show exceptional or unusual circumstances or overwhelming prospects of success on the limited material before court. The judge held that the record of the trial court was incomplete for determining the appeal, the applicant's injuries were the subject of another case, prison medical inability was not shown, and past good character was not enough. Bail pending appeal was therefore refused.

  • Defilement

Ismael v Republic

Ismael v Republic (Criminal Appeal E016 of 2023) [2026] KEHC 11091 (KLR) (23 July 2026) (Judgment)

The appellate court held that Kiambu court had territorial jurisdiction because the appellant was apprehended there and the Criminal Procedure Code allows trial in that area, with no demonstrated failure of justice. However, the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant dishonestly converted the fuel or wilfully and unlawfully destroyed the truck. The circumstantial evidence raised suspicion only and did not form a complete chain linking the appellant to the theft or the fire.

  • Stealing by agent
  • Malicious damage to property
  • Territorial jurisdiction
  • Circumstantial evidence
  • Proof beyond reasonable doubt
