Published on November 22, 2019, a Kenyan man, David Njuguna, has been sentenced to a 5-7 year prison term in Massachusetts, US, for his role in a fatal road crash that killed a policeman in March 2016.
The sentencing came after a series of emotional statements from the policeman's family members, including his wife, children, sister, and mother, who all spoke about the devastating impact of the crash on their lives.
David Njuguna was found guilty on counts of involuntary manslaughter, misdemeanor motor vehicle homicide, operating to endanger, and driving an uninsured motor vehicle by Judge Janet Kenton-Walker.
However, Njuguna was given credit for 1,283 days served while awaiting trial, which will be deducted from his overall sentence.
