A family whose patriarch is charged with attempting to murder his wife and four children over a parcel of land is crying foul over how the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) is handling the case.
The family has accused the ODPP of failing to seek deportation of the main suspects from the US, releasing some of the suspects on bond under unclear circumstances, and withdrawing a case against one of the suspects.
In the case, the prime suspect, 72-year-old Francis Muya has been charged together with his friend Charles Muraya with five counts of conspiracy to murder.
Muya is accused that on diverse dates between March 1 and May 2, 2024, jointly with others not in court, he allegedly hired hit men at a cost of more than Sh3 million to murder his estranged wife Rose Njeri Muya.
