DCI George Kinoti has accused Sarah Wairimu of using contempt of court proceedings against him to settle grudges her lawyer Phillip Murgor has against the top detective. Kinoti argues the application by Wairimu is a blatant abuse of advocate-client privilege, with the advocate using the application to channel his long standing malevolence against the DPP and DCI. He further claims the accused is using the case to advance her defense in the murder trial of her husband. In a filing in response to Wairimu's contempt application, Kinoti says the application is a calculated attempt to put forward her defense in advance. Kinoti says Wairimu and Murgor want to control the investigations and the trial process and to step into the shoes of the DPP and the DCI while at the same time defending the case.
