Kakamega minor who killed uncle likely to be charged with manslaughter

The boy is alleged to have killed his uncle at Makuchi village, Hamisi sub-county, Vihiga County.

The State could substitute a murder charge with manslaughter against a 16-year-old boy.

State Counsel Samson Ng’etich said he had advised the minor’s lawyer to draft a pre-bargain agreement to allow him to plead guilty to manslaughter so that his sentence can be reduced to allow him to continue with his education.
