Two men linked to the death of a conductor working with Mwiki Sacco Limited have been arraigned in Court.
John Kibe and Geoffrey Ngamau who are inspectors working with MSL were charged before Milimani Senior resident magistrate Miriam Mugure on Tuesday. They were detained for two more days to allow police conclude their investigations.
The two are alleged to have stopped a MSL bus headed for Mwiki at Kasarani area. They got on board and asked passengers how much they had been charged.
It is at this point that they descended on Julius Kamau, the conductor, for charging Sh100 and not Sh80.
The deceased’s wife, Winfred Kimanzi said her husband arrived home greatly bruised.
“He came home and showed me the injuries. His face was swollen and he also had been injured in the mouth,” she told Citizen TV.
Kimanzi said Kamau defended himself saying he had charged an extra Sh20 to passengers who would alight at Mwiki-the furthest since it was raining. Their usual place to alight is at Stima area which is a distance to Mwiki.
Kamau was rushed to Kiambu Hospital for treatment after he complained of great pains. He later succumbed to the injuries.
“As we were taking him to hospital, he was complaining of severe body pain, so much that he could barely walk.”
The suspects were arrested after they presented themselves at Central Police Station in Nairobi.
“They presented themselves before me on Monday midday after realizing that they were being sought for interrogation, Investigating Officer James Ooro said according to Nairobi News.
The case is set for mentioning on May 10, 2018.
