Holding

The conviction and sentence are upheld

Facts

Appellant was charged with robbery with violence and wounding of Stephen Odhiambo Ochieng on July 13, 2018. The prosecution's case was supported by the testimony of four witnesses, including the complainant and two other witnesses who saw the appellant running away after the incident.

Issues

  1. Identification of the appellant by the complainant and other witnesses
  2. Reliability of the identification based on the lighting conditions at the scene

Reasoning

The court found that there was adequate lighting at the scene and that the appellant was positively identified by the complainant and other witnesses. The late identification at the police post is seen as a minor issue.
