[Timothy Kariuki, Standard] A 45-year-old man has been sentenced to 140 years in prison by a Baricho Court after he pleaded guilty to defiling his two daughters in Ndia, Kirinyaga County. The pastor was brought before Principal Magistrate Antony Mwicigi who sentenced him to 70 years in prison for two counts of incest each. The accused was charged that in June 2019 on diverse dates, he defiled and impregnated his 16-year-old daughter who later gave birth to a girl who is now seven-months-old. The court was told that the matter was not reported and the suspect continued to live in the same compound with the girl.
