[Kipkorir Kiptui and Josephat Chesire at Kabarnet court, April 6, 2017]
A Kabarnet court has sentenced two men each for 10 years, for stripping off and forcing an elderly woman to drink her own urine.
Kipkorir Kiptui and Josephat Chesire were accused of attacking Sote Selena on June 27, 2015 at her home in Tengeres, Baringo central sub-county.
Appearing before senior magistrate Samson Temu, Thursday, for their sentencing, the judge described the act as dreadful.
“The law is very clear and we can no longer allow such barbaric behaviour of beating women to continue in our society,” the judge said.
“Beating her attracts a sentence of three years, undressing and forcing her to drink urine makes it 10 years,” he added.
He added that their jailing will serve as a lesson to the society.
