A man who sneaked out of court while a magistrate was writing down his sentence two years ago has been arrested and arraigned in Kenya.
In 2019, after Nairobi Principal Magistrate Hellen Okwani read out the judgment, Jonathan Muini Njoroge, the convict, lied to the court orderly that he wanted to speak to his lawyer outside the courtroom.
The court orderly allowed the convict to leave the courtroom with handcuffs as Okwani was writing down the sentence.
That was the last they saw of the convict until now.
Njoroge had been found guilty of conspiracy to defraud a company Sh 680,000 (over 4 million Kwacha).
