3 Men Handed a Death Penalty for Stripping a Woman in Kenya (See Photos)

Three Kenyan men who in 2014 stripped and attacked a woman in a bus have been sentenced to death by a magistrate court in Kenya.

The three men were slapped with the sentence after they were found guilty on charges of robbery with violence and a further 25-year- sentence for stripping a woman which was suspended due to the death penalty given to them.

The incident was recorded and shared widely on social media three years ago.

The video sparked protests, with hundreds of women marching through Nairobi.

Chief magistrate Francis Andayi said that those convicted had taken part in a “senseless and uncouth attack that they seemed to enjoy because they were cheering as they stripped the woman”, the privately owned Daily Nation newspaper reports.
