The youthful woman, Branswet Wambui admitted that she had stabbed John Mwago using a kitchen knife on the night of October 21, 2020 at Bismarck area in Nakuru County following an altercation.

Wambui told Justice Hillary Chemitei that the entire facts of the case that were presented before him by Prosecution counsel Vena Odero were true and that she was guilty as charged.

The Judge said after Wambui presented her prayers to the Court: “The accused person has pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter (killing without malice nor intention) and a plea of being guilty is entered.”

According to Prosecution, on the fateful night, at around 11.30 pm, Wambui had screamed, calling for help from neighbors to rescue her fiancé after she stabbed him.

“The accused person told her neighbour identified as Hellen Nyambura that she and her fiancé Mwago had picked a bitter quarrel after she (Wambui) threatened to call off their relationship,” Odero told the court.

 According to a post mortem report that was filed in court, Mwago died as a result of excessive bleeding from the neck.

“I was not intimidated; neither was I threatened to admit to the charge of manslaughter but it was unintentional,” she pleaded.

The woman who was arrested the same night of the incident has been out on a bond of Sh800,000 and she is expected to mitigate her case before sentencing on November 15, 2021.

Nyamira County Assembly Speaker Moffat Teya has heaved a sigh of relief after the impeachment motion that was being leveled against him was nibbed at the bud. Teya has been a restless man over the last two weeks but now, he has reason to smile after Leader of Majority Duke Masira helped him overturn the impeachment game that he had almost lost. Masira who is the leader of business at the Assembly saved Teya from hands of majority members of the House who were determined to bring him down from the office he has occupied for the last four years. Sources privy to the internal strifes intimated that Teya, a man with crystalline instincts had only Masira as a saviour in the war that is being waged on claims of unpaid allowances for staffs and MCAs as well as power struggles. The turbulence has seen the House sharply divided for an umpteenth time, even after all MCAs had forged a common front that was on an onslaught to impeac...

Shock over baby born with extremely low birth weight in Nyamira

As reported by The Standard:  Not even the doctors at the Nyamira County Referral Hospital imagined that an infant born with an extremely low birth weight of 600 grammes would survive. But after staying at the hospital’s nursery for 90 days, she was discharged four days ago, weighing two kilogrammes. Dr Timothy Ombati who has been attending to the baby at the paediatric ward, says there is a worry when a baby is born with such extremely low weight because premature babies usually have underdeveloped body organs. The baby, for instance, overcame so many life-threatening hurdles. “The baby was born on the seventh month of pregnancy and at that age, some vital body organs like the lungs and liver have not fully developed. She needed extra care and that is exactly what made her overcome the dangers,” Dr Ombati said. Dr Ombati says the medics succeeded to maintain the health of the infant by being extra vigilant against common challenges that kill newborns. “We were very cautious agains...
