Kenyan journalist Moses Dola gets 10 years imprisonment for killing NTV reporter

High Court judge Roseline Korir has jailed Kenyan journalist Moses Dola for 10 years for killing NTV reporter Sarah Wambui Kabiru, who was also his wife.

The judge found Moses Dola guilty on October 5 of murdering Wambui Kabiru and ordered the cancellation of his bond terms. While awaiting the sentence, the judge directed that he be held at the Nairobi Industrial Area Prison.

“I am not sure he intended to kill her, the court is prepared to give him the benefit of doubt,” Justice Korir ruled.

In a testimony to the court, Moses Dola gave a statement that his wife, a former NTV reporter, Wambui Kabiru died after a violent fight over radio’s volume. She was founded dead at their Umoja home. She had a problem with the music. However, later the police found evidences that suggested that she was strangled either by bare hands or a cloth. Her corpse was found in their locked bedroom carefully tucked in bed.

The young journalist, Dola also became a prime suspect in the murder case after he disappeared from Kenya’s capital city Nairobi after her death and again reappeared three years later.
