By MAUREEN KAKAHMore by this AuthorA court has acquitted a British citizen who was charged with trafficking Sh598 million worth of cocaine into the country. Justice Luka Kimaru on Thursday said the prosecution withdrew charges against Mr Jack Alexander Wolf Marrian and his co- accused, Mr Roy Francis Mwanthi, after concluding that they were victims of a global drug trafficking syndicate. The prosecution had first made this request to a Kibera Magistrate court, which declined to grant it. Justice Kimaru then ordered that the drugs be destroyed within 14 days under the supervision of a Nairobi magistrate court. They duo were apprehended in 2016 after containers carrying the drug disguised as sugar were confiscated.
