A 41 year old nurse has been sentenced to death by the High Court in Nairobi for helping a teenager procure abortion leading to her death.
Justice Nicholas Ombija sentenced Jackson Namunya Tali to death for committing the offense on July 27 2009.
The convict was stationed at Kihara sub district hospital, in Gachie as a medical officer at the time.
According to evidence adduced in court, Christine Atieno who was apparently pregnant visited the clinic of the accused with the express intention of having her pregnancy terminated.
The convict did not deny he attended to the deceased and offered her some form of treatment but denied he procured an abortion.
