Kenya Extradites Fugitive to US for Fatal DUI Crash
Sancho Kibutu extradited to US after 13 years
A Kenyan man convicted of a fatal drunk-driving crash in California has been extradited to the US after 13 years on the run. Sancho Kibutu was convicted in 2013 of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, but failed to appear for sentencing.
Kibutu was arrested in Nairobi in September and handed over to US authorities. The extradition was announced by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, which said it reflects Kenya's commitment to cooperating with other countries on criminal justice matters.
