A 62-year-old Kenyan woman was on Tuesday handed a 35-year prison sentence after she was convicted of robbery with violence.
Joyce Wairimu Kariuki, a former convict, was accused of involvement in multiple car thefts in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Nakuru between 2018 and 2019. She was arrested and charged at Loitoktok Law Courts in April 2019.
Records show Ms. Wairimu previously served a 15-year prison term at Shimo La Tewa Prison but did not change her ways after her release.
She had been found guilty of various offenses, including theft, forgery, attempted theft, among other crimes.
“Following numerous reports of stolen motor vehicles especially lorries in Nakuru, Nairobi, and Mombasa between 2018 and 2019, @DCI_Kenya narrowed down on the suspect around whom the thefts revolved despite having been released from the said prison after completing a 15-year jail term,” the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said in a statement.

She will get to see the grand kids she left behind in prison last time she was released! Let us go back to be of help in cooking for her fellow conns!
imagine this is your grandma...and of course she has money and then she spoil her grandkids with stolen money.
She is only the mastermind, they need to get the other culprits too who help her in her "career", AKA "Employees", so that the trend can stop completely

Pole nyanya!
And yet Babu Owino, who attempted murder still walks free....why cant the same legal process that is applied to common citizens be applicable to those in government?!?!?
A thug damu has not cure but to lock her in.
Not every problem in Kenya is an Uhuru problem as if u live in the USA u will know that once u become a Felon ur chances of getting a job become very slim n u even lose ur voting rite, in other words u become a nobody. The same goes to Kenya n the only thing that can stop one from crime is mob justice.
@guest#13 can u tell us if u hv a personal hatred with uhuru?when has life ever been easy under any ruler that there have never been thieves?Shake your head n rethink where n when to vomit trivialities
Congratulations DCI for making it possible to put this thug of a woman behind bars.
I am thinking besides steeling vehicles if on the hand she coached URITH Management Team to corn innocent members of public by selling them bogus lands.
Bwana DCI, please move expeditiously like you have on this mugger of a woman (Cucu) and arrest all URITHI Management Team for swindling innocent Kenyan’s residing in Diaspora, and me being one of them swindled most (Millions). Also, have Kenya Sacco Regulatory Authority suspended URITHI operating in the Republic of Kenya as we continue to seek refunds from URITHI Management Goons. We’re also petitioning to the Foreign Governments to recall all their children attending schools abroad and also we’re requesting these foreign Governments to revoke all URITHI Management Team members their Visas World-wide.
Unfortunately Cucu wa Gakungu has long been rested! She would been the only one to give advice to another Cucu!
It is so tough to make ends meet in Uhuru's Kenya that 65yrd old women are choosing to engage in criminal activity so as to be sent back to prison.
