In an application certified as urgent, the officers said they feel they are being punished already for the murder offence which is yet to be determined by court. “This matter is now part heard and more than half of the prosecution witnesses have given their evidence. The applicants shall not interfere with witnesses and investigations should any be carried out,” their lawyer Cliff Ombeta said in the application. MURDER OFFENCE BAILABLEWhile insisting that a murder offence is bailable, the lawyer said the officers will abide by any conditions that may be imposed by the court as a pre-requisite for granting them bond. At the same time, three prosecution witnesses have been recalled by the court for further cross-examination by the defence counsel.
