IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA

AT KERICHO

CRIMINAL CASE NO. 27 OF 2009

REPUBLIC …………………………………........................……………….PROSECUTOR

VERSUS

DAVIS KIPKOECH LANGAT.…………............................………………………ACCUSED

RULING

The charge against the accused is murder contrary to Section 203 as read with Section 204 of the Penal Code, Chapter 63 of the laws of Kenya. The particulars of the offence are that the accused

“on the 25^th day of May 2009 at around 8pm at Makutma village in Bomet District within Rift Valley Province murdered Samuel Nyangaro Mogaka”.

The prosecution closed its case after eight (prosecution) witnesses had testified in support of the charge. Under Section 306 (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code (Cap 75) the Court is enjoined to acquit the accused if it determines that the evidence adduced does establish a prima facie case to warrant the accused being put on his defence. If however, the evidence adduced establishes a prima facie case, the Court is enjoined under Section 306 (2) to put the accused on his defence.

I have perused the evidence adduced and I am satisfied that there is a prima facie case made out to warrant the accused being put on his defence. Accordingly, I put the accused on his defence. His Counsel shall indicate to the Court if the accused shall give sworn or unsworn evidence and whether he shall call witnesses. He is also entitled, if he so desires, to remain mum.
