The proprietors of a Nairobi body clinic known as Body by Design, which was at the centre of an alleged botched cosmetic procedure that led to the death of Lucy Wambui Ng'ang'a are set to face manslaughter charges.
In what is a major breakthrough in the case, the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) on Tuesday, April 1, revealed that the two owners and a surgeon are set to take a plea at the Kibera Law Courts on Wednesday, April 2.
This is after the three failed to appear before the courts today, prompting the presiding judge to issue orders to the defence lawyers instructing the three to appear on Wednesday. "The suspects were initially scheduled to take their plea today but missed the court appearance, prompting the court to reschedule the hearing for tomorrow," observed the DPP.
