Judy Wangui, the prime suspect tied to the gruesome murder of Mary Wambui Kamangara, is pleading with authorities to be released on bond after claiming that she was viciously assaulted by police officers based at the Police Station in Juja.
While presenting herself in front of a Kiambu Court together with suspects Michael Githae and Joseph Kori Karue, Wangui forwarded a bond application letter via lawyer Cliff Ombeta, in which she divulged that she’d been tortured.
Nonetheless, the prosecution led by lawyer Tom Embali is looking to have the suspects held for an additional two weeks so that DCI officers can be given ample time to assess the said case.
However, lawyer Ombeta has argued that mental assessment tests, as well as DNA sampling, were not liable enough reasons for his client, Wangui, to be held at the police station any longer.
Indeed, Ombeta informed the press that his client had been tortured by a number of police officers with malicious agendas.
Wangui claims that upon her arrival at the OCS’s office at Juja Police Station around 7 pm, she had been severely tortured by the group of policemen.
According to Ombeta’s statement regarding the matter, Judy was handed over by the investigating officer to two policewomen who were in charge of her.
They then proceeded to insert green peppers up her private areas.
Writhing in pain, Judy complained to the OCS, only for her pleas to fall on deaf ears with no intervention from the police boss.
It appears that the officers were following orders intended to have Judy confess to the murder, as well as get her to change her statement, to which she vehemently refused.
Additionally, businessman Joseph Kori’s representative, Advocate Hiram Thimba, also called on the release of his defendant’s car KCR 777R, with the claim that it should not be part of the investigation.
