Investigator casts doubt on prosecution in defilement case


By PHYLIS MUSASIAMore by this AuthorThe prosecution in a Nakuru court is on the spot after an investigation officer in a defilement case cast doubt over the handling of the trial. “How can a suspect agree to carry responsibilities of a child whom the DNA test has shown that he is not the father? I fail to understand why the prosecution would want to acquit the suspect of the defilement and indecent act charges only because the test results have reflected negative,” she said. Cpl Kamau also questioned the DNA test results and asked the court to issue an order for a fresh test at a different government chemist. Magistrate Kalo Thursday asked the investigating officer to apply for a fresh DNA test.
