A ballistics report has exonerated Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa from a shooting that led to the death of a man during the Ganda Ward by-election.
However, the MP who was charged in 2019 with murder, will have to wait longer for the Office of Director of Public Prosecutions to study the report and decide whether the charges will be withdrawn.
In a dramatic turn of events, Jumwa asked the court to immediately withdraw the legal services she had hired for her bodyguard-cum lover - Geoffrey Otieno Okuto - and to cancel a bond in which her daughter had stood surety for him.

A suspect linked to murder and robbery incidents escaped from court precincts in Mombasa on Monday.
Ngalaa Chuphi alias Hassan Ronald duped police officers that he had a runny stomach and needed to visit a toilet.
As he left the toilet, he wrestled to the ground the officer who was waiting for him outside and scaled a perimeter wall of court precincts.
Detectives have launched a manhunt for the suspect.
