A middle-aged Nakuru man has been sentenced to 28 year in prison as an assessor after the fact to a series of homicides in Nakuru County. 

On November 14th Jury, the Nakuru High Court slapped Evance Kebwaro Michori with the long sentence after the Defence and Prosecution reached to a plea-bargaining agreement to reduce the sentence from life imprisonment while the convict agreed to collaborate with the Prosecution against five other co-defendants. 

Michori who is implicated in a series of murders in the Mawanga area of Bahati Sub-County, Nakuru County, on June 21, 2022, will testify as a prosecution witness against the other five defendants.

The six suspects were arranged On August 2, 2022 and formally charged with four counts of murder in the Nakuru High Court. After a detailed interrogation, Michori confessed to being a member of the Confirm Gang- a criminal gang that was operating within Nakuru and its environs.

He admitted to manslaughter of four women, whom the gang robbed and left to perish in their burning homes.

His confession was collaborated by additional forensic evidence meticulously gathered by investigators leading to a plea bargain agreement with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) in Nakuru. 

The court accepted the plea deal on November 14, 2024, resulting in Michori’s 28-year sentence in which he will serve as a prosecution witness, providing crucial testimony against his five co-defendants.
