The Court of Appeal varied the sentence only, reducing Mbarushimana Isaac’s punishment for defilement of a child from life imprisonment to 17 years.
The court held that intent to kill can be established by the manner in which the victim was assaulted, specifically targeting the head with force, and that the brutality of the act precludes sentence reduction even if the accused admitted guilt. The classification as murder and the sentence of life imprisonment were upheld.
