Welcome to both shocking and intriguing world of crime where even judges never know what to expect to hear in the court room when handling cases due to the wild nature of the human brain.
A Meru magistrate’s court yesterday issued an arrest warrant for a man and his lover who were charged for screaming while having sex, disturbing the peace and inconveniencing members of the public.
However they skipped court.
Senior resident magistrate Evans Mbicha issued the warrant against Chacha Mwita, Cynthia Makhoha and Magoolia Twaha for failing to appear for the mention of the case.
When prosecutor Miriam Mbithe called their names, they were nowhere to be found. Their cash bail — Sh20,000 each — was forfeited to the state.
Chacha and Cynthia were to pretend to be stuck together during sex and the witch doctor (Twaha) would free them by magic.
Cynthia told the court she was in her usual business. She said she and Chacha agreed on Sh1,000 for sex but he only gave her Sh400 and as a result, she was shouting, demanding pay before having sex with him.
Chacha, on the other hand, said they were not stuck as police alleged and that they were amused to see a big crowd gathering.
Police was forced to shoot in the air to disperse the crowd eager to view the scene.
Magistrate Odhiambo said in view of their response, the court presumed they had not pleaded guilty.
She ordered the three to get their freedom after depositing the bail or a bond of Sh50,000.
The case was slated for hearing on May 15.
