A man has been sentenced to life imprisonment after he was found guilty of violently killing a boda boda operator at Malaba town on August 17, 2023.
Malaba Principal Magistrate Ocharo Momanyi found Geoffrey Wafula Malunda guilty after the prosecutor presented evidence which matched a description of the accused.
According to the evidence before the court, on the material day, at Upland Estate in Malaba, Teso North Sub-County, and jointly with others not before the court, Wafula robbed Jeremiah Otwane Papa of his motorcycle taxi and mobile phone before inflicting multiple injuries on him, thus causing his death.
Wafula was arrested in Bungoma with Papa’s phone following investigations by DCI officers who were tracking both the phone and the motorbike.
The ruling came a week after two other murders of boda boda riders were reported at Malaba police station.
