Chief Magistrate Julie Oseko granted bond to three suspects implicated in defrauding the late Mombasa tycoon Tahir Sheikh Said of Sh400 million.
Mr Aweys Ahmed Mohamed, Mr Zein Ahmed Mohamed and Mr James Mwangi were granted Sh 5million bond after their surety went missing in court.
The court arrived at this decision after the prosecution, led by Mr David Fedha and Ms Alice Mathangani, revealed that title deeds deposited as Sh4 million surety were missing.
The court heard that the three forged a letter of offer for Kenya Commercial Bank bearing the signature of Mr Tahir Sheikh at Jane Wanjiru Kago Advocates in Mombasa on August 25, 2014.
The case will be heard on June 17 and June 20, 2019.
