Self-confessed Kenyan born Alshabaab terrorist Elgiva Bwire will no longer serve a life setence, appeals court has ruled.
Chief Magistrate Grace Ngenye (now High Court Judge) had sentenced Bwire to life imprisonment for grievous harm and another 15 years for engaging in organised crimes.
But Judges Daniel Musinga, William Ouko and Gatembu Kairu exonerated Bwire from alleged harm inflicted at two Kenyans; Patrick Ndolo and Justus Makau.
The court heard that Bwire converted to Islam in 2005 and subsequently entered Somalia to join the Alshabaab militant group through Liboi border.
After thorough training, he graduated and was dispatched to conduct activities in Kenya, where he also recruited members.
The three judges dismissed other grounds of appeal stating that they were satisfied that Bwire was not suffering from any disease.
The 35-year-old man will now serve 15 years behind bars but would be a relieved man after dropping of life sentence by appeals court.
