A 62-year-old Kenyan woman identified as Joyce Wairimu Kariuki, has been sentenced to 35 year imprisonment after been convicted of robbery with violence by the Loitoktok Law Courts.

According to a statement released by Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI), Joyce Wairimu Kariuki had previously served a 15-year jail term but resumed her thievery after being released from prison.

“Following numerous reports of stolen motor vehicles, especially lorries in Nakuru, Nairobi and Mombasa between 2018 and 2019, DCI detectives narrowed down on the suspect around whom the thefts revolved,” the DCI said.

Wairimu was an ex-convict of Shimo La Tewa GK Prison who was on 23rd April, 2019 arraigned at Loitoktok Law Courts charged with six different offences, including theft, forgery, attempted theft, among other crimes, was on Tuesday, sentenced to 35 years in prison following her case verdict.

She was first arrested in 2005, prosecuted and found guilty by the then Kwale Senior Resident Magistrate D.O. Ogembo.

The convict had, in 2008, filed an appeal at the High Court in Mombasa, but her application was dismissed by Justice M. Muya, who, on November 14, 2013, ruled that Wairimu’s appeal was “convoluted, disjointed and without merit”.

Following her arrest early last year, Wairimu was arraigned at the Loitoktok Law Courts on April 23, 2019.
