By JOHN KAMAUMore by this AuthorDetectives are investigating how a “false” probation report was used to secure the release of three murder suspects on bail — in the high profile murder case of a senior chief in Marsabit. An intelligence briefing seen by the Nation now claims that the judge relied on a “false” probation report which had been compiled by a Marsabit probation officer. “The probation report is false and therefore the bond terms are based on falsehood and fraud,” says the report dated January 4. A probation report is prepared by a probation officer once a court gives an order for the report to be done. A prosecutor handling the case in Meru told the judge that he was ready to continue with the case without the input of the investigating officers.
