Malcha v Republic [2025] KEHC 6088 (KLR)
The High Court at Voi dismissed a resentencing application arising from robbery with violence convictions, holding that Muruatetu does not apply to section 296(2) offences.
Imbati v ODDP [2023] KEHC 22499 (KLR)
The court held that the Supreme Court in Muruatetu (2) expressly limited the application of its guidelines on re-sentencing to murder cases under sections 203 and 204 of the Penal Code. Since the petitioner was convicted of robbery with violence, an offence outside the scope of the Muruatetu guidelines, and had exhausted all appellate remedies, he was not entitled to seek re-sentencing. The petitions were therefore dismissed for lack of merit.
