A former NTV journalist Moses Dola Otieno has been released after High Court Judge Alexander Muteti granted his application for review.
The court directed the prison department to release him immediately unless he is being held on other legal grounds.
Moses had been serving a 10-year sentence for the 2011 killing of his wife, Sarah Wambui Kabiru, a fellow journalist.

He was convicted of manslaughter in 2018 after the court found that Wambui died following a domestic altercation at their home in Nairobi
Dola later surrendered to authorities after initially going into hiding.
During the court proceedings the journalist had explained to the court that he never intended to kill Kabiru and that he was sorry.
In his incarceration, Dola pursued legal studies and is currently enrolled in law school, a move he has described as part of his personal transformation.
