RULING
The accused herein ERNEST SAKWA KWEYU alias YAWA faces a charge of MURDER CONTRARY TO SECTION 203 as read with SECTION 204 OF THE PENAL CODE. Having entered a plea of ‘not guilty’ to the charge, his trial commenced on 26th November 2008 at which trial the State called a total of seven (7) witnesses in support of their case. Learned counsel MR. OBARA appeared for the accused. I have given careful consideration to the evidence adduced by these seven (7) prosecution witnesses. In my view a prima facie case has been established against the accused. As such I do direct that he gives his defence to the charge pursuant to S. 306(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code.
Dated and Delivered in Mombasa this 16th day of December 2010.
