written by Mustafa Juma

Masten Wanjala, the self-confessed serial child killer has been lynched by mob in his rural home in Mukhweya village, Bungoma County.

This comes just days after the suspected killer escaped from Jogoo Road Police Station in Nairobi on a day he was to be presented in court.

According to police reports, Wanjala was identified after he ironically joined a football match in the area and played with locals in Bungoma.

Some of those who identified him as a wanted man later trailed him to his home where they lynched him.

Area Assistant County Commissioner Cornelius Nyaribai confirmed the suspect was flushed from their house and lynched by a mob.

Wanjala, 25, escaped from Jogoo Road police station cells on Wednesday morning as remandees and others were being separated from the general population.

According to Bungoma head of DCI Joseph Ondoro, the locals had successfully identified the lynched man as Wanjala.

He has led police to crime scenes, reenacted them, made voice recordings and showed investigators his scrapbook detailing the murders. 

Police said they had so far linked him to as many as 14 murder murders in Nairobi, Machakos and Western Kenya. He had confessed to killing 12 children when he was arrested in July this year in Kajiado.

Videos capturing the incident showed him being removed by a mob from a house and being beaten with clubs and stones.

Following his escape from custody, senior police officers visited the station to understand what happened.

Police officers Phillip Mbithi, Boniface Kamakia Mutuma and Precious Mwinzi arraigned on Thursday said they had no lights the night Wanjala escaped.

written by Yahil Felix

In a petition filed in court by activist Okiya Omtatah, Busia High Court has stopped 22 businessmen from grabbing Busia Airstrip.

Justice Ann Omollo while making her ruling said that the petition by Omtatah has merit and has a chance of success.

The judge further issued conservatory orders restraining the respondents whether by themselves , their servants or agents from occupying, causing any damage, cultivating, developing, converting to using, transferring or alienating Busia Airstrip land including land registering as private property under the deeds or subdivisions pending hearing and determination if the suit.

Omollo gave these orders after Activist Omtatah went to court seeking to stop the illegal and unconstitutional grabbing of the said land by the businessmen.

The activist argued that the constitutional rights of Kenyans have been gravely compromised and violated through the illegal grabbing.

Omtatah asked the court to dispose of the question of the rightful owner of the airstrip land than wait to do so in a municipality of suits saying it will be vital to the court in pursuit of justice since it presents a more comprehensive history.

A part of his petition read, “That it is overriding and overwhelming interests of justice, that it’s disposed to determine whether or not Busia Airstrip land is a public property.”

The County Government of Busia which is a party in the case argued that the respondents have fraudulently and illegally obtained turtles to the land thereby putting selfish private interests that cannot override public interests.

written by Yahil Felix

A prison warder based in Thika GK Prison in Kiambu County is currently in police custody after allegations that he conspired with his colleague to rape a 21 year-old woman.

The woman claims that she was sexually abused on October 4, when she had gone to visit her husband who works at the facility.

The alleged victim said she lives in Kisii where her husband previously worked and her husband had sent her fare by M-pesa to go visit him in Thika.

She said she and her one-and-a-half year-old son arrived in Thika at 8 pm on Monday.

She met two prison warders at Thika GK Prison’s main gate and she informed them that she came to visit her husband who was unreachable on the phone at that time.

She therefore asked the two officers to assist her in tracing him. She sat at the visitors’ waiting bay for two hours and at 10 pm, the two warders returned and told her their attempts to trace her husband were futile.

Because it was raining, one of the officers took her and the child to shelter in his house in the police quarters.

“It was a small mabati house,” said the woman. She was told to shelter there and she would be assisted in the morning of October 5 in tracing her husband.

She then said a few minutes to 11 pm, the two warders returned and locked the door inside using a chair.

She said one of the grabbed and pinned her on the floor, he then brandished a firearm and warned to kill her if she dared scream.

According to the alleged victim, the two took turns in raping her. They then left after committing the crime. The woman said she spent the whole night crying in the room.

In the morning she met a female prison warder and she confided in her. ‘She took me to her senior supervisors where I reported the ordeal, I, thereafter, went to a hospital in Sega town,” said the woman.

According to her, she was referred to Thika Level 5 Hospital for examination. Later that day, she went to Thika Police Station and filed a rape report.

Sources say that her O.B number 88/12/10/2021 was issued on Tuesday October 12 after several cover-up complaints by the woman.

Her medical report confirmed that she was indeed raped. On Tuesday October 5, Thika West Sub-County Police Commander Daniel Kinyua confirmed that one of the prison warders suspected of sexually assaulting the woman was arrested.

The police boss said they are investigating the rap allegation against the two warders and the woman. He added that they won’t cover it up if they find the two culpable.

Up to date, the husband of the alleged rape woman is still out of reach.

by Yahil Felix
written by Yahil Felix

Embattled Migori Governor Okoth Obado, his four children and eleven other people might face another rough time as the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) is set to table new evidence in the Sh 73.4 million corruption case.

When the case came up for hearing on Tuesday before trial magistrate Lawrence Mugambi, the DPP through Senior State Counsel Eva Kanyuira told the court that this office has new evidence in the case against Obado and his co-accused parties.

The senior counsel told the magistrate that in the course of the pre-trial proceedings with the investigating officer, they discovered 500 new pieces of information which will be vital in the case.

She stated that the state would like to amend the charges against all the accused persons following the fresh evidence that has emerged.

Kanyuira asked the court to allow the prosecution to amend and substitute the charge sheet “in the interest of justice.”

“It will not cause any prejudice or injustice to the accused persons as they shall be accorded sufficient opportunity and time to test and challenge the prosecution case as presented,” the DPP said.

The State also sought more time to have the defense team go through the new evidence before the trial started.

The magistrate hesitantly allowed the defense lawyers and accused persons a day to go through the new evidence until Thursday morning when the case is expected to begin.

Among the new evidence introduced in the case are documents recovered from Obado’s home in Uriri in Migori, Migori county government, evaluation committee report for meeting NoECR/263/2015-2016 dated June 8 to 14 of 2014, offer for sale agreement for Loresho Ridge townhouse dated August 12, 2014 and bank account statements from KCB, Co-operative banks, Central Bank of Kenya and Bank of Scotland.

Other documents include payment vouchers for several companies including M/S Deltrack ICT Services, Dolphus Softwares, Peuslus Supplies, Kajulu Business Solutions Associates, Atinus Services and Victorious Investments.

The defense led by George Kithi had declined the request by the State to have the case proceed without them being given an opportunity to go through the new evidence.

Only Obado was present during Tuesday hearing while the rest of the co-accused attended virtually.

How Court Set Free Defilement Suspect Despite DNA Evidence That He Impregnated Minor

by Yahil Felix
written by Yahil Felix

A court has acquitted a man who was accused of defiling a minor leading to a pregnancy that lasted 11 months. The alleged act occurred three years ago at Emakhwale Village in Mumias East Sub-County in Kakamega.

DNA tests done on the accused Rashid Akhulunya Wasabo and the child of his alleged victim revealed that there was 99.99 percent chance that he sired the minor.

Court records indicated that Wasabo’s alleged victim, 17, was defiled on November 17, 2018 and she gave birth on October 1, 2019, eleven months later.

Mumias Chief Magistrate Teresia Odera said according to science, a pregnancy last 9 months.

“Although the DNA report implicates the accused-indicating he is the biological father of the minor’s child, it is trite law that expert reports are opinions which the courts must evaluate, and evidence supporting them produced,” said Odera.

She said the report that the minor was defiled on November 25, 2018 and she gave birth eleven months later does not add up, given a human being’s gestation period lasts nine months.

The magistrate however said the Prosecution satisfactorily proved that the alleged victim was a minor when the accused, who was in mid-thirties, allegedly defiled her.

“On identification of the accused, the minor said Wasabo had sexual intercourse with her. She consequently, conceived and gave birth to a child two months past the gestation period, which the defense took issue with..and the court also takes judicial notice of,” said the magistrate.

Wasibo had argued that the dates on which the girl conceived and when she gave birth were conflicting. According to him, a human being’s pregnancy lasts 280 days, while that of the alleged victim lasted 310 days.

He further argued that the alleged victim was born on July 30, 2001, and had already turned 18 years old by July 2019.

He further added through his lawyer that besides the baby born out of the alleged sexual offense being a girl, it was not a boy as indicated by the Prosecution and the investigating officer.

While testifying, government chemist Dalmas Kibet Kipsang said DNA test results indicated that the alleged victim and Wasabo were the minor’s biological parents.

The victim’s mother also testified in court, said she discovered her daughter was pregnant seven months after the said defilement.

The mother said she took her to St. Mary’s Hospital in Mumias where a pregnancy test was conducted and it turned out positive. She then reported the matter to police and Nyumba Kumi Initiative officials.

It is reported that Corporal Maurice Otieno was investigating the alleged defilement but he died before concluding the matter. Police Constable Line Mbalaka took over the investigation.

A 17 year-old student, Cynthia Makokha did not know she wouldn’t make to spend her highly anticipated holiday with her family. She traveled from Nairobi to Mumias for the holiday but she met her untimely death when she was abducted, killed and her body thrown into a river.

The high school student went missing on October 4 which made her family in Kakamega to worry about her whereabouts.

The worry turned into agony days later when the girl’s body was found dumped in River Lusumu, few kilometers away from Mumias town.

The form four candidate was headed to her home in Shianda when she was abducted under unclear circumstances.

Cynthia lived with her aunt in Nairobi and she left the aunt’s house on October 4. She promised she would be back after four days to prepare for re-opening of schools on October 11.

She boarded Eldoret Express bus at 6 am and headed to Western where she was to alight at Shianda town, in Mumias East sub-county.

Her mother said that she talked with her daughter the previous day and she seemed eager to arrive home. She said she advised her daughter to carry her books so that she would continue with her studies at home.

As Cynthia was on the bus, she updated her mother and uncles in Mumias and her aunt in Nairobi on her journey.

However, after reaching Kapsabet in the afternoon, all communication stopped. The family said the girl was no longer picking calls. They assumed that she might have fallen asleep.

Around 8 pm after several attempts to reach her, she finally picked their calls and informed her worried family that she was in Butere, about 13 kilometers way from Mumias town.

Her uncle, Victor Wanga, worried about her, he rushed to Butere and he could not find her, she was no longer picking calls.

The uncle said while searching for her, her aunt in Nairobi got a message sent from her phone that she was safe.”I returned home around 11 pm hoping that she would join us the following morning,” said the uncle.

On October 5, hours after her disappearance, friends noticed that Cynthia’s Facebook page was updated with a photo of an unknown man.

Her family quickly reported her disappearance and the strange man’s photo to police in Mumias.

They discovered that the man was called Johnny and hailed from Maraba, a village in Mumias East.

Relatives and the police began a search for Johnny and when they arrived in his house, they found Cynthia’s bag and phone.

However, as the family were eager to hear from the man about Cynthia’s whereabouts, he kept silent and offered no information.

“The man denied knowing my daughter even after he was arrested. This left us confused because he had her phone and bag containing her clothes and books,” said the mother.

Six days later, while the police made frantic efforts to find Cynthia, her body was discovered floating in River Lusumu 200 meters from the home of the suspect.

Her heartbroken mother said the death of her daughter who is the first born out of five children shattered the family’s hope of a brighter future. The family is now crying for justice for Cynthia.

Mumias West sub-county police commander, Mr. Stephen Muoni confirmed that a suspect was in their custody and he will help in providing more information in the probe of Cynthia’s death.

Her body was moved to Kakamega County Referral Hospital mortuary awaiting postmortem.

Another Trouble For Meru Senator Mithika Linturi As Fight With Wife Takes A New Twist

by Yahil Felix
written by Yahil Felix

A vicious property battle between Meru Senator Mithika Linturi and his stepson Arnold Kipkirui takes a new twist to be a all-out family wrangle following the inclusion of the senator’s estranged wife Mary Kitany.

On Monday, the High Court approved the senator’s request to have Ms. Kitany enjoined in the case where her son accuses the legislator of fraud.

The court said that Mr. Linturi’s application was right because Ms Kitany was the CEO of a company, Atticon Limited, which he allegedly used to borrow sh 7 million from Family Bank.

Ms Kitany’s son, Mr Kipkirui, claims that in 2015, the legislator used a title deed for their land in Meru and assets as security for the loan. The property hosts the senator’s office.

Justice Alfred Mabeya said, “I have perused the record, I have not seen her name offered as a witness for any of the parties. It is alleged that she has evidence that can help the court completely adjudicate the case.”

The dispute pits Mr. Kipkirui agianst Mr. Linturi, Atticon Ltd, Brenda Mithika, Emily Nkirote Buantai, Family Bank, the land registrar in Meru, Linkit Limited and the registrar of companies. Other plaintiff include Barons Estate Limied and Noniko Holdings Limited.

The feud originated from the ugly divorce proceedings between Mr. Linturi and Ms. Kitany. Mr. Linturi, Ms. Buantai, Ms. Mithika and Linkit Limited told the court that Ms. Kitany is a crucial party in the case.

As the CEO, she reportedly discovered several unauthorized withdrawals of collosal amounts of money from Atticon’s bank accounts.

The court was told that she reported this to DCI for investigation and recorded a statement to that effect.

This report to the DCI hatched criminal proceedings being contemplated against the senator over alleged fraud and forgery of documents in relation to the loan, securities and changes in the ownership of Atticon Ltd.

Further, the court was told that Ms Kitany was actively involved in one of the companies when the irregularities happened. Also, the same were either sanctioned, overseen or authorized by her.

Ms Kitany and hr son opposed the application, saying she has no personal stake, legal interest or duty in the case s to necessitate her joinder. She declared that she has never been a shareholder nor a director of Atticon Ltd.

But Justice Mabeya said there was prove that Ms Litany was the CEO of the company since she had stated so in another case file at a magistrate’s court. That at her position as the CEO, she found out unauthorized withdrawals f huge amounts of money from the company’s bank accounts which prompted her to report it to DCI for probe.

“Although Ms Kitanyy denied these allegations, a fact stated on oath cannot be denied. When denied, it reflects negatively on a party. It may be that she may may have evidence that can assist the court unravel the dispute,” said the judge.

With her absence in the case, Justice Mabeya said the court may miss an opportunity of having a necessary person with crucial information to assist in determination of the matter.

How To Identify A Fake Police Officer, Police Boss Reveals

by Yahil Felix
written by Yahil Felix

The National Police Service on Monday revealed how one can identify a fake police officer. While talking in a local radio station, Police Spokesperson Bruno Shioso confirmed that a number of fake cops have been on the rise.

H e revealed that fake cops normally go after the members of the public and sometimes forcefully take money from them in what he termed the act as ‘unprofessional.’

The police boss further said that it is important for a police officer to identify themselves because of the nature of their work. He said because the police are powerful people and some people can take advantage of this to give people sleepless night.

The spokesperson said that officers should always be in uniform and if they are known, they can be allowed to carry out operations. According to Shioso, it is very important for one to demand for identification from officers who are dressed in uniforms.

He added that one can prove the name of the officer and number by looking at their job tags. “If a police has uniform, they can have a name tag so that a reasonable person can know that this is a police officer,” he said.

He also declared that if an officer is armed and he is in the public domain, there is no need of causing drama.

He said it was important for officers in civilians to identify themselves since imposters usually take advantage of this.

This come barely a week after activist Boniface Mwangi got involved in a wrangle with uniformed police officers in a building located in Nairobi’s CBD.

The activist asked the GSU officers who were in uniform to also ask three individuals who were in plain clothes to produce IDs.

by Yahil Felix
written by Yahil Felix

A woman identified as Scovia Muyekho is in trouble after giving a host slap to a neighbor. Appearing before Kibera Law Courts, it is said the woman slapped a young boy she found sitting outside her house to a point of loosening his teeth.

This was after she mistakenly accused him of throwing stones at her house. Evidence presented in court stated that, she willfully attacked the boy on September 27 and caused him bodily harm at a residential area in Lindi, Kibera Sub-county.

On the fateful day, the minor was sitting outside on the stone while his mother was away running her daily errands. There were also some children playing and throwing stones onto Muyekho’s house.

Infuriated by this behavior, she came outside to warn them but they had ran away. Since the victim was the only one found sitting outside, she bitterly accused him of something the boy didn’t do.

The bitter woman went back to her house only to come back and approach the minor from behind and gave him hot slaps that sent him sprawling on the ground. The boy ran to their home crying in pain, his two teeth had loosened as a result of the impact.

The mother came home later, found her son not feeling well. The boy narrated to his mother what had transpired. He experienced difficulties in eating and six days later, his uncle took him to the hospital where the loose teeth were removed.

On third October, the boy’s mother escorted him to Kibera Police Station to record a statement. The woman was arrested and charged before Kibera Principle Magistrate Sharon Maroro.

The accused denied the claims saying that the complainant had agreed to withdraw the matter but the Principle Magistrate could not approve withdrawal because the victim is a minor.

Muyekho was released on cash bail of Ksh 10,000 and the next mentioning will be on October 25.
