Published on October 7, 2019, the trial of two individuals accused of killing Mary Wambui, whose murder shocked the county, is set to begin at the High Court in Kiambu.
Judy Wangui, a former mistress of Joseph Kori, and Michael Mathenge, a car dealer, face murder charges in connection with Wambui's death.
Wambui was killed in Wangui's house on January 26, 2019, and the postmortem found that she suffered nine killer blows to the head. She was allegedly hit using a pressure cooker before being suffocated.
Mathenge, a car-hire services operator, led police to a thicket in Ruiru where Wambui's body was recovered.
Wangui and Mathenge have denied killing Wambui, an offence they allegedly committed on the night of January 26, 2019, at Four Ways Junction Estate on the Kiambu-Nairobi Road.
Justice Christine Meoli had ordered the two to deposit cash bail of Sh2 million each, to secure their release.
