Kenyan Nurse Gets Death Penalty for Abortion
Witnesses told the high court that Jackson Namunya Tali had agreed to help the woman, Christine Atieno, who wanted to terminate her early pregnancy.
But Tali said Ms Atieno had sought help after a botched abortion elsewhere.
Thousands of women in Kenya are treated each year for complications after unsafe abortions - a survey last year put the figure in 2012 at 120,000.
The court heard that Ms Atieno had died in Tali’s vehicle as he was taking her from the clinic in Gachie, 15km (nine miles) west of the capital, Nairobi, to another hospital for more advanced treatment.
She had been bleeding for eight days following the abortion.
