SEVEN CHARGED OVER MUCHAI MURDER



The State has lined up four key prosecution witnesses in a case in which seven suspects face trial for the murder of former Kabete MP George Muchai.
Mr Muchai, his two bodyguards and driver were killed aides in Nairobi early this year.
The witnesses include two sisters who were carjacked shortly before the killings and who are “eyewitnesses” in the prosecution’s list.
Another witness is a taxi driver who was called after the fatal shooting and who was “warned not to disclose what he had seen or heard or else he would be killed in the next two days.”
The prosecution also has an “unnamed” witness” who was in contact with the accused persons and who revealed that while in their company, they warned him against mentioning what he had seen and heard and if he did so they would kill him.”
The suspects face two different capital offences before two courts in Nairobi arising out of the gangland style killing of the trade unionist-cum-politician.
