A Kenyan court has sentenced former Likoni police officer Yunus Athman to life in prison for the 2018 killing of unarmed 20-year-old Mbaraka Maitha Omar during a goat theft incident in Mombasa.
The High Court, presided by Lady Justice Wendy Kagendo Micheni, ruled Athman used unlawful force despite no threat or resistance from Omar, emphasizing the duty of officers to protect life.
Over 20 witnesses testified, including evidence of a cover-up, and the court considered victim impact statements and a pre-sentence report.
The verdict highlights concerns over police accountability and misuse of force, with Athman given 14 days to appeal.
