Man Framed For Raping Daughter Gets Another Shot At Justice
A man who was sentenced to life in prison for allegedly raping his daughter has had his conviction quashed ahead of a retrial.
Julius Wambua had already served eight years in prison before his daughter recanted her damning statement. Wambua’s story aired on Citizen TV’s ‘Prison Diaries’ in March 2019, when his sobbing daughter Dorcas Wambua claimed that her mother orchestrated the defilement case.
Dorcas confessed that her mother coerced her to frame her father for personal gain.
On Wednesday, High Court Judge George Odunga overturned the sentence and released Wambua on a cash bail of Sh30,000 pending retrial.
