A man was on Friday sentenced to death by the High Court in Mombasa for killing moderate Muslim cleric Sheikh Mohamed Idris in 2014, Daily Nation reports.
According to the report, Mr Mohamed Sudi Said alias Mohamed Hussein alias Abu Osman was sentenced by Justice Martin Muya.
He was found guilty of murdering the former chairman of the Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya on June 10, 2014 at Manyatta in Likoni.
The cleric was a vocal opponent of radical preaching.
Police said he was "shot only once in the stomach" shortly before dawn as he headed to prayers at a mosque by gunmen on a motorcycle.
