A Kenyan man who evaded sentencing in the United States for 13 years following his conviction over a fatal drunk-driving crash has been extradited to California to face justice.
Sancho Kibutu, also known as Sancho Kibuto and Njoroge Kibuto, was handed over to American authorities in Nairobi and flown to California following extradition proceedings facilitated by Kenya’s Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
Kibutu was convicted on September 19, 2013, by the Superior Court of California, County of Madera, of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, contrary to Section 191.5(a) of the California Penal Code.
