NAIVASHA, Kenya (Reuters) - A couple caught having sex
in a Kenyan mosque during the Muslim holy month of
Ramadan have been sentenced to 18 months jail for what
the judge called an "abominable" affront to religion.

Peter Kimani and Jennifer Wairimu pleaded guilty to
the charge of having sex in a place of worship after
being caught on October 3 at the Abubakar mosque in
Gilgil, about 60 miles north of Nairobi. Neither is a
Muslim.

A worshipper heading for evening prayers found the
couple having sex after investigating what the
prosecution described as strange noises emanating from
a dark corner of the mosque.

Kimani and Wairimu both pleaded for clemency at
Monday's hearing, saying they were too drunk to know
where they were. Kimani told the court he thought he
was in a lodging house.

John King'ori, senior magistrate in nearby Naivasha,
dismissed their plea.

"Having sex in a mosque is a most abominable thing to
religion and only a custodial sentence can add justice
to this," he said.
