The court found that the prosecution had not established a prima facie case against the 1st accused, Rosaliah Nanto, and therefore entered a finding of not guilty and acquitted her under section 306(1) of the Criminal Procedure Code. As regards the 2nd accused, Jane Mwendwa, the court found that there was evidence that she committed the offence of murder as charged, and therefore she was required to be put on her defence in accordance with section 306(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code. The court emphasized that detailed reasons are not provided at this stage to avoid prejudicing the fair trial of the remaining accused.
