dc.description.abstract | the recent decision of the Kenya Court
of Appeal delivered in Mombasa on 30th
January, 2003, the court found itself confronted
with the vexed question of dealing
with a conviction in a sexual offence
based on uncorroborated evidence
From the summary of the facts, it is alleged
that the offence was committed on
the 20/10/2000 at about 7:30 p.m. at
Mwakingali Estate in Taita Taveta District
of Coast Province, Kenya. The complainant
was accosted by a man whom she
identified as the appellant. She was
dragged into a nearby house where she
was forcibly stripped naked and forcibly
sexually assaulted. I Although she
screamed for help, apparently nobody
came to her rescue. Indeed, she testified
that after the assault, the appellant locked
her in the house and went away, returning
with another man who also forcibly
had sexual intercourse with her. She did
not identify the second man (although
she identified the appellant). | en_US |
