When Rasto Otuya, 95, walked out of the Kakamega Prison on Monday, into the sunlight and arms of his family, he became one of the most unlikely prisoners to be freed on good conduct.

Mr Otuya who hails from Mundika, Khwisero was sentenced for life at the age of 87 after being found guilty of defiling a 10-year-old girl in 2012; a crime he maintains he never committed.
