Mahakama ya Rufaa inathibitisha hukumu ya kifo kwa Daniel Njihia Miano

Mahakama ya Rufaa wiki iliyopita imethibitisha hukumu ya kifo dhidi ya Daniel Njihia Miano, ambaye alikata rufaa kupinga kifungo chake cha miaka 14 jela. Miano alihukumiwa kwa wizi wa kutumia nguvu katika shambulio la Septemba 2010 huko Ritaya, Nyandarua. Uamuzi huu unaonyesha hatari za kukata rufaa katika kesi za jinai.

Daniel Njihia Miano alikata rufaa dhidi ya hukumu ya miaka 14 jela aliyopokea Desemba 2010 kwa kosa la wizi wa kawaida. Tukio lilifanyika Septemba 2010 huko kijiji cha Ritaya, Nyandarua, ambapo Miano na wenzake walimshambulia Philip Karuoya Wambugu, wakiiba Sh2,100 na simu mbili zenye thamani ya Sh6,750. Washambuliaji walitumia mapanga na rungu.

Mahakama Kuu, Oktoba 2012, ilibadilisha hukumu kuwa ya kifo baada ya upande wa mashtaka kuomba ongezeko la adhabu. Majaji walimwonya Miano kuhusu hatari, lakini aliendelea na rufaa. Mahakama ya Rufaa ilitupilia mbali rufaa yake ya pili wiki iliyopita, ikithibitisha ushahidi wa ushirikiano na wengine katika uhalifu.

Mawakili wa Miano walidai Mahakama Kuu ilikosea kuongeza adhabu bila kufuta hukumu ya awali. Hata hivyo, mahakama ilisema ina mamlaka ya kubadilisha adhabu huku ikidumisha hatia, mradi mshtakiwa ameonywa. Upande wa mashtaka uliwasilisha mashahidi watano, ikiwa ni pamoja na mlalamishi, huku Miano akikanusha mashtaka bila kiapo.

Uamuzi huu unaelekeza hatari ya rufaa za jinai, ambazo zinaweza kusababisha adhabu kubwa zaidi.
