A Kisumu court has acquitted a middle aged woman from murder charges but still found her guilty of manslaughter.
Lucy Odhiambo pleaded guilty of killing Gabriel Owuoth on 12 July 2007 in Sire Siaya County.
According to witnesses who testified during the prosecution, the accused person was in the home of Arina Akumu, where she had gone to visit.
Reports claim that the accused attacked the deceased with a rungu and a panga.
The deceased died on the way to Siaya County hospital and after an autopsy was done, it was established that his death was occasioned by a fractured head.
Other witnesses who testified told the court that Odhiambo had an on and off mental disorder adding that she was undergoing prayers to reinstate her mental health.
Justice David Majanja directed that she will be sentenced on April 10 where her relatives have also been ordered to attend the session and she has no right of filing an appeal.
