CRIMINAL CASE NO. 13 OF 2014 (MURDER)

REPUBLIC.....................................PROSECUTION

VERSUS

PETER RUTERE MUTHONI................ACCUSED

R U L I N G

This is a ruling on whether the accused person has a case to answer.  He faces a charge of murder contrary to Section 203 as read with 204 of the Penal Code to which he pleaded not guilty.

The prosecution called 13 witnesses in this case.  I have perused the entire evidence of the prosecution and reach a finding that it is sufficient to support the charge against the accused person.  He therefore has a case to answer and is called upon to make his defence.

DELIVERED, DATED AND SIGNED AT EMBU THIS 20TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2018.

F. MUCHEMI
