Economy & Politics MP charged over murder of British rancher set freeLaikipia North MP Mathew Lempurkel inside Nanyuki Law Courts cells after he was charged with incitement to violence and offensive conduct on November 24, 2016. PHOTO | JOSEPH KANYIA court in Nanyuki has dismissed a case in which Laikipia North MP Mathew Lempurkel was to be charged over the murder of British rancher Tristan Voorspuy. It was expected that the ODM MP would be charged with the killing of the Laikipia rancher who was gunned down on March 5 at Sosian Ranch. Mr Lempurkel first appeared in court on March 9 but detectives asked for more time to gather evidence against him before he could be charged. But when the case came up Monday morning for mention, the prosecution told the court that it had not managed to gather enough evidence to implicate the MP.
