The Appellant was in the District Court of Iringa charged with the offence of Incest by Males contrary to section 158 (1) (a) of [Cap 16 R.E. 2002]. On the 7th August 2014, the learned trial magistrate found the Appellant guilty of Incest by Males contrary to section 158 (1) of [Cap 16 R.E. 2002] convicted him and sentenced him to thirty (30) years’ imprisonment. Being aggrieved by his conviction and resulting sentence, the Appellant lodged an appeal in the High Court at Iringa, faulting the cautioned statement for having been obtained under coercion. He contended that the case was not proved against him beyond reasonable doubt. The appeal did not turn to his favour, hence this second appeal to this Court.
