It has been noted that the police are misbehaving in slain business woman Mary Wambui’s murder case.A Directorate of Criminal Investigations detective was, on Wednesday, thrust on to the hot seat after he irregularly released Mary Wambui’s husband,Joseph Kori.
Appearing before Kiambu senior principal magistrate Stella Atambo, detective John Wahome was forced to apologise for disregarding court orders during the release of the businessman.
The court had stated that the police were in contempt for releasing the suspect before taking him back to court for clearance.
The officer, who is from DCI’s Homicide Unit, had been accused of releasing Kori even after the court ruled that he remains in police custody.
Judy Wangui and another suspect, car hire businessman Micheal Mathenge, appeared before High Court judge Christine Meoli in Kiambu on Tuesday afternoon but the plea-taking was postponed.
It was deferred after Wangui’s lawyer Cliff Ombeta failed to attend court.
The prosecution led by Christine Mbevi were not opposed to the deferring of the case.
However, the prosecution sought to have the first suspect remanded at Muthaiga police station and the second suspect at Pangani police station.
