Alex Ochogo Sentenced To 40 Years In Prison For Gouging Out Baby’s Eyes
Alex Maina Ochogo has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for gouging out the eyes of a three-year-old boy. Alex, who is the cousin of the victim, was found guilty of the crime in a Kisii court.
The court heard that Ochogo kidnapped the boy in December 2022 and took him to his home, where he gouged out his eyes with his bare hands.
The boy was found by his family the next day, bleeding and unconscious. He was rushed to hospital, where he underwent surgery to save his sight.
However, doctors were unable to save the boy’s eyes and he will be blind for the rest of his life.
Ochogo was sentenced to 40 years in prison for the crime, while the boy’s aunt and grandmother were sentenced to 10 and five years in prison respectively.
The case has sparked outrage in Kenya, with many people calling for the suspects to be given harsher sentences.
The boy’s family has said that they are relieved that the suspects have been brought to justice, but they are still struggling to come to terms with what happened.
They have said that they will never forget what the suspects did to their son and that they will continue to fight for justice.
