The Court had ruled that the element of malice afterthought has been proven further directing that a probation report and impact report be prepared before sentencing.
Mutua had denied the charges saying that he was on duty and was informed of Koome having been injured and he directed he be taken to the hospital.

How are these police officers being trained to deal with the public? What types of training are officers getting? Who is providing the training, some foreign contractors? What orders are they given when by the bosses and are these orders disobeyed by the police?
WHAT IS DISCONCERTING IS THE FACT THAT THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT TO PIN THIS MURDER ON ANOTHER INNOCENT OFFICER!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY KENYAN TRIBES NEED TO SECEDE FROM ONE ANOTHER AND HANDLE THEIR OWN AFFAIRS AND ONLY CONTACT OTHER TRIBES ONLY WHEN THERE IS A NEED TO DO SO! Like racism, the ills of tribalism will never be cured!
