A man who had been sentenced to 40 years in prison for raping his 90-year-old grandmother will now serve 25 years, following a second appeal.

Appeal Court judges Patrick Kiage, Jamila Mohammed and Mumbi Ngugi noted in their judgment that RK, who was 21 years old, had been charged with incest and not rape, which attracted a more severe punishment.
