3 Men Linked to Garissa University Attack Get Life & 41 Years in Jail

A court has handed life and 41 years sentences to three men linked to the 2015 Garissa University attack.

Two convicts, Hassan Edin Hassan and Mohamed Anika were jailed for 41 years, as the court found that they did not directly participate in the attack.

However, Rashid Charles Mberesero, a Tanzanian, was slapped with a life sentence as he admitted that he was actually travelling to Somalia to join the Al- Shabaab terror group.

For conspiracy to carry out a terror attack, Hassan and Anika will each serve 15 years, which will be reduced to 10 and a half years as they have already spent four and a half years in jail.
