Robbers at a sugar company headed to the gallows after losing two subsequent appeals

KISUMU: The moon was shining bright on January 25, 2007 at Awendo in Kisumu when three heavily armed men stealthily approached Sony Sugar staff quarters. Inside one of the houses, Isack Mauti was relaxing after a sumptuous supper as his family chitchatted to while away the night before retiring to bed.

As the conversation grew interesting, Mauti’s children raised their voices, much to the excitement of the three robbers laying an ambush outside.
