The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions has made a fresh application seeking to have the plea taking in Baby Samantha Pendo case deferred to a later date.
The prosecutor told court that they need to amend the charge sheet given the fact that the 11th accused person has not yet been arrested and he’s feared to have left the jurisdiction of Kenya
12 senior police officers accused of the murder of Baby Samantha Pendo during the 2017 post election protests were expected to take plea today before
The officers include Titus Yoma, Titus Mutune, John Chengo, Benjamin Koima, Benjamin Lorema, Volker Edambo, Cyprine Robe, Josphat Sensira, Mohammed Ali Guyo and James Rono.
Their plea taking has been adjourned on several occasions following the non appearance of two who are yet to present themselves to court.
The DPP had asked for the plea to be halted until all the arrest of the other officers but the victims lawyers have opposed saying the ones in court can take plea as they pursue the others.
However, they now want an adjournment so that they can amend the chargesheet before the plea is taken.
