<p class="ql-align-center">JUDGMENT OF THE COURT</p><p> The appellant was convicted on his own plea of guilty on a charge of manslaughter contrary to<em> section 202</em> as read with <em>section 205</em> of the Penal Code. This was an unfortunate incident in which the deceased met his death only for trying to help and stop arguments between two people.</p><p> The appellant was sentenced to fifteen (15) years imprisonment. He now pleads with us to reduce the sentence. He tells us that he is aged 23 years.</p><p> We have considered the circumstances under which the offence was committed and in our view a sentence of 15 years imprisonment imposed on a young man who readily admitted the charge would appear harsh and excessive. We therefore reduce the sentence to ten (10) years imprisonment.</p><p> Made at Nakuru this 22nd day of February, 2005.</p><p>R.S.C.
