The Court of Appeal upheld Karenzo’s conviction for defilement of an 11-year-old child, found the evidence reliable, and reduced the sentence from 25 to 15 years.
The Court of Appeal found that both appellants jointly participated in the fatal assault, that the testimony of related witnesses was corroborated and credible, that no provocation was established, and that the legal characterization should be murder rather than assault causing death. However, the sentence could not be increased on appeal as the prosecution had not appealed, so the custodial sentence remained but the fine was annulled.
