The High Court in Nairobi will today render its judgment against six people accused of allegedly killing former Juja MP George Thuo in 2013.
During the trial, the prosecution called 30 witnesses and adduced ten exhibits.
Thuo died on the night of November 17, 2013, after a night out at a restaurant in Thika town in what was believed to be poisoning.
Those on trial are Paul Wainaina Boiyo, Christopher Lumbasio Andika, Andrew Karanja Wainaina, Samuel Kuria Ngugi, Esther Ndinda Mulinge and Ruth Vanessa Irungu.
Boiyo is the proprietor of the said restaurant in Thika while Lumbasio was a friend of Thuo.
Ndinda is the waitress who allegedly served Thuo while Vanessa is the woman reveller who bought Thuo a beer at the club.
The six were arrested after investigations revealed that Thuo’s death, “was due to haemorrhagic gastroenteritis acute due to suspected chemical poisoning.”
The suspects denied the charge but the court found them with a case to answer in January 2023 after the state produced 30 witnesses who testified against them.
Justice Roselyn Korir is expected to deliver her judgment at the Milimani law court in Nairobi today.

He is among CEOs of State agencies who were suspended for 12 months following recommendations by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) due to ongoing investigations against them.
