Court Jails Man Linked to Murder of Farida Kadzo to 20 Years in Prison

The Mombasa court sentenced a 22-year-old man to 20 years in prison for the manslaughter of 17-year-old Farida Kadzo Changawa, who was killed at her home in Kilifi in June 2025. Judge Wendy Kagendo Micheni considered a plea bargain that reduced the initial murder charge. Farida, a survivor of sexual violence, was attacked after she declined to visit the accused's home. The International Justice Mission welcomed the ruling as a step toward accountability for violence against women and children.
