The High Court has freed a man who had been jailed for life over claims he raped an 87-year-old woman after finding that he was insane.

At the same time, Justice Kipkoech Limo, in his verdict released on December 6, last year, found that it was impossible for the man, codenamed PW, to rape the victim, codenamed KK, as the woman never identified nor saw him.
