The family of the late Star Journalist Eric Oloo has finally gotten justice after Siaya High Court sentenced a suspect in his murder case, Joel Lutta to 35 years in prison.
Victor was, however, set free after the judge cited a lack of sufficient evidence.
Judge Roselyne Aburili, in her ruling, noted Joel was found guilty based on evidence and testimonies. She argued that no one is entitled to murder and just apologise. After causing such a loss, you cannot just say sorry. The judgement for murder is death but because of the circumstances, I will sentence you to 35 years in prison. The court has found you guilty based on testimonies and evidence, she ruled.
