Meru Senator Mithika Linturi has passed on.
The information was communicated by his estranged wife, Mary Kitany, who he is seeking to divorce.
Appearing in court on Tuesday, where their divorce case is continuing, Kitany stated that Peter Linturi passed on without divulging more information on the same.
Some media reports alleged that according to Linturi’s lawyer, Muthomi Thiankolu, the father’s death was attributed to the ongoing case.
“He may have died of shock from Kitany’s testimony,” the lawyer claimed.
Kitany was seeking to have the case adjourned due to the emerging situation. However, Linturi’s lawyer opposed the move, instead asking the court to proceed with the matter.
