Mombasa court quashes 30-year jail term for insane man who killed policeman

VOI: It was just a normal, ordinary day at the Taita Taveta District headquarters on March 27, 2011 when Leonard Mwangemi, a psychiatric patient, entered the compound with a concealed knife in his pocket.

He headed straight to where a group of five police officers were seated on a bench whiling away the Sunday afternoon in a heated chitchat. After greeting them, Mwangemi sat next to the only uniformed and armed police officer who was on duty that day.
