Janet Karamana, 56,
sobbed uncontrollably as the judgment was read at the Court of Appeal.
She had appealed a 30-year-sentence handed by the High Court for a
crime that she maimed her husband, Moses Gituma, and eventually killed
him.
Karamana had been found guilty of planning the October 23, 2009, attack
that left Gituma, a former senior officer at the Central Bank of Kenya,
in a vegetative state until he died on March 2, 2010.
High Court Judge Nicholas Ombija convicted six people in the case, but
the Court of Appeal released three of them and sent the other three to
the gallows.
Justices GBM Kariuki, Philomena Mwilu and Fatuma Sichale ruled that the
three were the main perpetrators of the crime.
Those to face death are Karamana, Clement Munyao and Anthony Mati,
whereas Andrew Muuo, Evans Obangi and Peter Maina were given back their
freedom because the evidence could not sustain a murder conviction.
