Send me to jail as fast as possible, killer Evans Karani tells judge
On the second attempt, Karani jumped in front of an approaching vehicle on Thika Superhighway, but due to traffic build up, he did not sustain serious injuries as the vehicle was moving at a relatively low speed. His third stab at death occurred recently, when he attempted to drown in a Kiambu dam.
Karani shocked many when he made a virtual court appearance on Monday, April, 19. Karani asked the judge if it would be possible for him to be given a speedy sentencing so that he could go to jail. “I’d like to ask that be sentenced and sent to jail as fast as possible so that I can begin serving my time,” Karani told Magistrate Oscar Wanyaga.
