A man in Embu has been charged with two accounts for causing a breach of peace in a trading centre and also threatening to kill his wife.
Gerald Mugendi who appeared before Embu chief magistrate Maxwell Gicheru on Friday 10th was of chased his wife Ann Kirito Gitonga, around
Kianjokoma trading centre shouting that he would kill her.
Mugendi said they had disagreed over the nature of his work. He told Gicheru he did not have an alternative but to do the job. The nature of the job was not clear.
“Your honour, the complainant is my wife and we had quarreled over my job which I don’t like but which I do because I don’t have an alternative,” said Mugendi.
The magistrate cut him short, saying the suspect will have the chance to defend himself when time comes. The court granted Mugendi a bail of Sh50,000 with an alternative bond of Sh100,000.
The case was fixed for hearing on May 23.
Gicheru directed that Mugendi be supplied with copies of the charge sheet, witness’s statements and any other documents the prosecution was planning to use against him.
