VERSUS

1. KARISA NZAI MKUTANO

2. ARNOLD KITSAO KAHINDI …....................ACCUSED

R U L I N G

Having considered the prebail report by the probation officer, the affidavit of the investigating officer, one IP Roy Mwaura, the evidence adduced so far, I cannot find any compelling reason to deny bail to the two accused. However, I am of the view that the terms ought to be stringent in light of the evidence so far tendered and the reservations expressed by the investigating officer as regard the risk of flight by the accused.

Each accused may be released on depositing cash bail in the sum of shs. 100,000/- for (ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND) and executing their own bond in the sum of shs. 500,000/- with one like surety to appear. Hearing as before on 5th and 7th February, 2013.

Mention on 20th December, 2012 before Deputy Registrar.

Delivered and signed at Malindi this 6th day of December, 2012 in the presence of

Court clerk – Evans
