On August 18, 2019, a magistrate was set to rule on whether a businessman who fatally shot a man in a road rage incident over a decade ago would be committed to civil jail for failing to pay the dead man's family more than Sh20 million.
Albert Kubai Mbogori, the businessman, had been on the run for more than five years, the court heard.
He was arrested on Thursday following a warrant which was issued early this year.
Mbogori's application to be declared bankrupt was rejected by the High Court in February after the judge ruled that he had failed to demonstrate his inability to pay the amount.
According to Justice James Aaron Makau, Mbogori failed to fulfill the requirements set out in bankruptcy proceedings.
The judge said the bankruptcy process is meant to protect genuine people who have unfortunately found themselves in debt, 'but not fraudsters or conmen'.
Mbogori shot Edward Benjamin Rahedi in a road rage incident on December 1, 2007. Rahedi was shot near the Bomas of Kenya, following a minor traffic accident. He died about three months later in hospital.
