A woman who sold toxic brew that killed eight people has been sentenced to death. Lady Justice Jessie Lessit found Jennifer Wanjiru Ng'ang'a guilty of killing five of the eight people who died after consuming the brew in Ruiru five years ago. Justice Lessit's landmark ruling is likely to send shockwaves among illicit brewers and sellers in the country. Ms Wanjiru will face death as a result of what she considered a normal business day in Gitambaya village of Ruiru in Kiambu County on September 11, 2011. On that day, Jane Wambua Kamau, David Karanja Nduati, Samuel Waweru Wanjiku, James Mwita Wanjiku, Julius Kariuki Mwangi, Joseph Ndichu Kamau and Stephen Nzuki went to Ms Wanjiku's 'Kings Pub', little knowing that the alcohol had been laced with methanol.
