A Nairobi High Court judge has ruled that three suspects charged with the murder of Dr Victoria Mutiso can cross-examine Professor David Ndetei. The decision follows an application by the suspects, who want to question Ndetei about an affidavit he allegedly swore in opposition to their release on bail.
The case continues to draw attention as the legal proceedings around Dr Mutiso's murder unfold in court. The opportunity to cross-examine Ndetei could be significant for the defence, given that his affidavit appears to have played a role in arguments against granting bail to the accused.
No further details about the hearing date or the specific contents of the affidavit have been made public yet. What happens when Ndetei takes the stand is something the legal community, and many Kenyans following this case closely, will be watching.
