The High Court will on July 8 hear a confession detailing how lawyer Willie Kimani, his client and a driver were allegedly brutally executed by police officers. The High Court yesterday allowed the prosecution to use the confession made by Peter Ngugi, one of the accused in the case. In the confession, Ngugi gives chilling details of how, where, what time and who took which part in the cold-blooded murder of Kimani, Josephat Mwenda and Joseph Muiruri on June 23, 2016. Ngugi had asked the court to strike out the confession, arguing that he was coerced and tortured to write it. The four wanted the court to review their bail application but the prosecution opposed the application maintaining that witnesses remain at risk if the officers are released on bond.
