Appearing before Senior Principal Magistrate Maroro Nyakundi, he pleaded guilty and told the court that his mother forgave him when she was at the police station.
“The complainant in this case, my mother, has already forgiven me. She was at the police station to withdraw the charges but the OCS said I should wait to be discharged,” he said.
