Even as he was expected in court on Wednesday, it was determined that Lawyer Assa Nyakundi was not yet in a stable condition to record a statement.
The lawyer who is accused of shooting his son dead last month was reported to have gone into shock and has since been admitted at the Nairobi Hospital.
“I visited the suspect at Nairobi Hospital, and I can confirm that he is still sick and will need more time to see if I can record his statement,” said Police officer Godfrey Munene to a Madaraka Court on Wednesday.
He added that upon their visit to the hospital, the lawyer was incoherent and could not speak well.
Makadara Senior Principal Magistrate Angelo Kithinji therefore directed the officer to get the suspect’s statement and return to court on April 15 to confirm the status.
