Kamocha in her ruling said, “I was unable to find anything which can be regarded as an extenuating circumstance. In the result, the sentence of this court is that you be returned to custody.

"The sentence of death be executed upon you according to the law."

Mutero would have gotten away with the crime if not for a suspicious village head identified as Chief Nyamhondo who reported the matter to the police.

An investigation was launched and a post-mortem result revealed that the deceased had a lacerated rectum and had suffered sexual abuse, police prosecutor, Nwabayi Mutawi stated at the court.
