A man who was convicted for defiling his ex-lover’s twins on their way to church will serve 25 years instead of a life sentence. The High Court held Jeremiah Muchoki's conviction by the magistrate's court but slashed the sentence because of inconsistencies in the witness statements. Court documents say Muchoki defiled the 10-year-old twins between January and February 3 last year at Marimba sublocation, Imenti South, Meru. In his defence, Muchoki said the twins' mother was using this case to frame him. He added that on January 18 last year, the twins’ mother threatened him and he reported the matter that evening to the area manager who advised him to relocate.
