High Court Allows DPP To Charge Assa Nyakundi With Son’s Murder
The High Court has paved the way for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to charge city lawyer Assa Nyakundi with murder.
In a ruling on Monday, February 6, Justice Daniel Ogembo threw out Nyakundi’s application seeking to stop DPP Noordin Haji from charging him with murder while there is an ongoing manslaughter case at the Kiambu Law Courts.
Justice Ogembo ruled that Nyakundi’s application lacked merit and that the DPP did not abuse the legal process by instituting the murder charge against the lawyer.
“I am not convinced that the filling of the murder charged herein in the circumstance under which the same was done amount to an abuse of the legal process on the part of Nyakundi,” said Ogembo.
