Friday, May 17, 2024 - A hate crime planned and financed by a Kenyan living in the diaspora has now been moved from Thika Law Courts to Kiambu High Court.
On diverse dates, Patrick Mutugu (currently hiding in the USA) sent money to
Margaret (Girlfriend) and Edwin (Nephew) to hire hitmen to cause harm to a
business lady in Juja named Dorothy.
They trailed Dorothy as she left her work assignment in Kabati, Muranga, waited
until she had a meal along Kenyatta Road, and then trailed her as she left for
her home in Juja, Kiambu County.
They rammed into her car from the rear and it was when she
opened the door to assess the damage that Simon Mbua doused her with corrosive
liquid acid, causing severe burns and loss of eyesight.
In total, Patrick Mutugu wired over Kshs. 2m.
The 4th accused said to be his girlfriend was arrested at her hideout in
Kirinyaga County on Monday this week.
Impeccable investigations by the DCI Juja Police Station team saw four (4) suspects
apprehended with the case initially heard at the Thika Law Courts.
The accused were represented by lawyer Danstan Omari, who had managed to secure
the release of the 3rd and the 6th accused on amended bail terms of Kshs.
500,000 each, but the DCI Kenya homicide team and the Director of Public Prosecution office moved swiftly to the High Court in Kiambu, which set aside the
ruling from Thika.
The suspects appeared before a Kiambu magistrate today who ordered that they be
held at Industrial Area and Langata Women’s Prison respectively.
The 4th accused requested 3 working days to get counsel and her prayer was
granted.
The prosecution team will seek Interpol's assistance to apprehend the main
suspect Patrick Mutugu for extradition to Kenya. He owns a company called
Caring Home Services in Indiana USA.
He also works at Grant Blackford Mental
Health in Marion City Indiana.
