Two people accused of murdering their friend and dumping his body in a ditch after a chang’aa spree have been set free by the court.
Justice Stephen Riechi of Bungoma law courts set them to liberty, citing a Court of Appeal ruling implicating the State for faltering on the circumstantial evidence they relied upon to secure a conviction.
“There must be no co-existing circumstances weakening the chain of circumstances relied upon,” the judge told the prosecution as he set free the two accused persons.
