Friday, September 4, 2026 - A Nyeri man accused of running over his estranged wife, Susan Kanyuira, with a car appeared before the Nyeri Law Courts and pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.

According to a post by a Nyeri-based activist, the accused, identified as Mr. Kanyi, appeared before Hon. Beniah Okongo on Thursday morning.

The activist claimed that Kanyi intentionally ran over Kanyuira with his car twice, leaving her with serious injuries that reportedly included broken ribs, a broken hand, a crushed pelvis and deep tissue damage to her leg.

Kanyi, however, pleaded not guilty when he appeared before the court.

The case has been scheduled for hearing on November 17, 2026.
