A college student who admitted hacking a Catholic priest, Father Michael Kyengo, to death will be sentenced on Thursday.

This comes weeks after a shocking revelation at the Embu High Court when Mr Michael Muthini, 26, revealed how he slashed the priest to death for allegedly sexually abusing him and in the process, infecting him with HIV.
