Holding

The Appellant was convicted of robbery with violence and sentenced to four years imprisonment. The appeal on sentence is dismissed.

Facts

The Appellant was convicted of robbery with violence for robbing Millicent Kwamboka Nyamancha of cash, a mobile phone, a Bible, and a National identity Card.

Issues

  1. Whether the Appellant was armed with a dangerous or offensive weapon.
  2. Whether the Appellant was in company with one or more other persons.
  3. Whether the Appellant used violence against the victim at or immediately before or immediately after the time of the robbery.

Reasoning

The trial court was correct in finding that the Appellant was in company with another person, which constitutes robbery with violence. The sentence of four years is not harsh or excessive.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed
