FOR 10 years, Samson
Limakori sat behind bars, convicted of murdering his wife in a quiet Pokot
village. But last week, a court vindicated him, ruling that he was an innocent
man.
The appellate court
overturned Limakori’s 25-year sentence, citing fundamental breaches of his
right to a fair trial and critical gaps in the prosecution’s case.
Now in his late 50s, Limakori was accused of strangling his wife, Monicah Jackson, on June 5, 2015, in Natelem village, West Pokot county.
