REPUBLIC …........................................................... PROSECUTOR

VERSUS

MARGARET KERUBO …................................................. ACCUSED

RULING

1.                 The accused is charged with the offence of murder of her husband.  The State has not provided any compelling reason to enable the court deny the accused her constitutional right.  I would therefore allow the application and order that the accused be released on bond pending trial upon the following terms:-

1)Bond of Kshs.500,000/= with three (3) sureties of similar amount.

2)The accused shall attend mention before the D/R of this court once after every 30 days with the first such mention being 20/4/2015.

3)The accused shall not interfere with any of the prosecution witnesses and shall not be in contact with them in a manner that is likely to interfere with their attendance in court.

4)The accused shall be reporting to the Area Chief on the last Thursdays of each month until the final determination of the case.

Dated and signed at Kisii this 18th day of March, 2015
