For the fifth time in a row, the trial of man accused of killing Moi University medical student Ivy Wangeci in 2019 failed to proceed at the Eldoret High Court on Friday.
This was after Naftali Njami Kinuthia s newly appointed advocate Henry Kenei withdrew from the case at the last minute to the disappointment of the victim’s family.
Kinuthia’s initial lawyer Mbiu Kamau stepped down in November 2020 forcing the office of the Chief Justice and the
Pro Bono Service Committee to appoint Mr Kenei to represent him.
During the virtual court session, Justice Stephen Githinji informed the court that Kenei had written a letter addressed to the court, recusing himself from representing Kinuthia.
