“I was framed up and improperly convicted. I am also challenging the manner in which I was convicted,” Jackson Kihara Gachucha tells court as he challenges 20-year sentence

Jackson Kihara Gachucha, a man serving a 20-year prison sentence, has told the High Court that he was framed and wrongfully convicted, as he continues his legal battle to overturn the sentence.

Appearing before Justice Alexander Muteti, Gachucha claimed that his prosecution was malicious and that he was subjected to intimidation and harassment during his trial. 

He insisted that key documents connected to his case, allegedly linked to his late father’s estate, were deliberately concealed, affecting his defence.

The court heard that Gachucha believes these documents could support his version of events and help explain circumstances surrounding his conviction. 

He further told the court that he only became fully aware of the importance of challenging his conviction after receiving what he described as assurances of protection from government authorities in October 2024.GET FULL STORY HERE.
