Lawyer Assa Nyakundi was released on previous bond terms issued by a Kiambu Magistrate’s court. Nyakundi’s defense team protested plans for a fresh murder charge arguing the Director of Public Prosecutions cannot proceed with the new charge, because there is a pending manslaughter case in a Kiambu court.
Noordin Haji, Director of Public Prosecutions plans to review the manslaughter charge. He claimed that some detectives had compromised the investigations.
Justice James Wakiaga ordered that Nyakundi be produced in court again Friday to enable lawyers argue the validity of the new charge which they are opposed to.
The Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti insists they have sufficient evidence to charge Nyakundi with murder. He also accussed him of lying to detectives.
Nyakundi admits that he accidently shot his son dead as he reached out his pistol from the back seat of his car while driving home from church.
