The court had been told that Wambui shot her lover at Ngori Ngori area in Narok South Sub County.

In her defence, however, she claimed that Ibrahim, with whom she had two children, shot himself following a domestic quarrel.

Samson Njoroge, an investigating officer, told the court that by the time he arrived at the scene, his body was laying in a pool of blood with a bullet wound on his chest.

“According to our investigation, the deceased had not shot himself because of the nature of the bullet that passed through the left chest and existed above the buttocks,” he told the court.
