According to Ahmednassir, this qualifies as malice aforethought in law which law dictionary defines as ” the conscious intent to cause death or great bodily harm to another person before a person commits the crime.
“Such malice is a required element to prove first-degree murder” or “a general evil and depraved state of mind in which the person is unconcerned for the lives of others.”
The controversial Lawyer wrote on his tweeter account;
“DP RUTO is simply too BRUTAL..in law he can be charged with MURDER for his statement satisfies the legal prerequisite to commit MURDER…which in law is called “MALICE AFORETHOUGHT”

In the video, DP Ruto owned credits for Raila Odinga’s AU job claiming that they never negotiated a deal with AU for the former Prime Minister to be involved in prospecting minerals or any gold merchandise.
“The deal we negotiated for Raila Odinga as AU Infrastructure representative did not include prospecting and sale of minerals,” the DP said.
