The court on Tuesday, January 21, ruled on the fate of two suspects linked with the attack on the Dusit D2 hotel terrorist attack that occurred on January 15, 2019.
Through a ruling delivered virtually by Lady Justice Diana Kavedza, the judge acknowledged that the two suspects before the court had a case to answer following investigations into the terror incident that claimed the lives of 21 people, and injured several others. "Having considered the evidence of 55 witnesses, including expert testimonies, and the material presented before me, I am satisfied that the prosecution has established a prima facie case against the two accused persons," Justice Kavedza. "I hereby place the second accused, and the third accused on their defence," the judge added.
Kenyan special forces intervene after a bomb blast from the office block attached to DusitD2 hotel in Nairobi, Kenya, on January 15, 2019 File The two suspects were arrested along with a third suspect, who was subsequently convicted following a plea bargain.
The judge scheduled the hearing for February 5 and 6, 2025, during which the defence will have the opportunity to present their case by producing witnesses at the Kahawa Law Court.
