A 25-year-old man will spend 15 years in jail after he was found guilty of murder.
The suspect Benson Kiboma appeared before Nyamira law court Judge Esther Maina.
Ms Maina sentenced Kiboma to 15 years in jail because the evidence produced in court proved that the suspect killed Zachary Orina.
The prosecution told the court that the suspect together with three others not before the court who were released due to lack of evidence committed the offence on April 4, 2013.
The incident was said to have happened in Magwagwa, Nyamira North in Nyamira County.
Kiboma's plea to the court to be lenient on him was dismissed by the Judge who said he should be sent to jail to serve as an example to those fond of killing others.
The court heard that Orina was hacked to death by the suspect after a drinking spree on the said date.
One of the family member who declined to be named welcomed the court ruling.
"We are happy as a family following the court's ruling. Orina will at least now rest in peace," said the family member.
Justice Maina said the suspect has 14 days to make an appeal.
