Two suspects in the murder of human rights lawyer Willie
Kimani now want the court to review their bail terms before the conclusion of the trial that is at its last stages.
This is even as the prosecution intends to call its last witnesses and close its case by next week Friday.
Fredrick Leliman and Peter Ngungi told the court that they had filed application for review of bail terms and they pleaded with the court to hear them before proceeding with the testimony.
However, Justice Jessie Lessit and the prosecution both said that they had not seen the application.
The judge then directed them to file and serve the application to all the parties so the court could identify a date when the application will be heard.

In the case four APs including Leliman, Stephen Cheburet, Sylvia Wanjiku and Leonard Maina Mwangi — and police informer Ngugi, have denied murdering human rights lawyer Kimani, his client Josephat Mwenda and taxi driver Joseph Muiruri.
Kimani’s client had persisted in filing a case against an AP officer for violent treatment. All the men were in court. The three were kidnapped after leaving the Mavoko law courts on June 23, 2016. They were tortured. Their bodies were retrieved on July 1, 2016, from the Athi River, near Donyo Sabuk police post.
Yesterday, Officer Kennedy Mwadime concluded testifying and was cross-examined by the defence lawyers.
He confirmed that the vehicle alleged to be Leliman’s car a KBX 429G was never captured between June 20 and 25 2016 at the places of interest that the taxi driver used by Kimani was captured.
Lawyer Cliff Ombeta for Leliman also asked him if by his analysis he could tell who had the said police radio that was captured on 24 and 25.
Mwadime said that he could not tell who had the police radio at the time that it was captured from Mavoko all the way to Juja when they lost a signal.
On Monday, he showed the locations where they had captured the police radio signal on June 24, 2016, saying that there were nine locations from 157 frames.
The locations were from Mlolongo police station, Syokimau police post, Mombasa Road, Eastern Bypass and Juja.Mwadime indicated how the ELTE police radio moved on that day and the following day. The Huwaei 4G radio that gets updated periodically shows starts the trajectory at Athi River in Mavoko to Mombasa Road and later Juja.
The court also heard that the said police radio was captured a day later at Valley View Park Estate in one of the houses.
The case resumes this Thursday.
