The Willie Kimani murder case was on Monday adjourned for the second time.
The case was mentioned for the second time in a row before Justice Daniel Ogembo who told the court that his colleague Judge Jessie Lessit was not feeling well.
Judge Ogembo who had mentioned the case last week Monday said the case will be mentioned on February 1 before Lessit.
The defence lawyers made an application for the accused persons to be presented in court on Friday this week so that they can access their lawyers.
The court heard that due to the current Covid-19, it was tough to access the accused while in custody and that is why they are always brought to court to prepare for the case with the lawyers.
Even though Ogembo allowed the application by the defence, he said on Friday this week the courts would be closed for fumigation.
In December last year, the case failed to begin several times after defence lawyer Cliff Ombeta contracted coronavirus.
So far, only one witness is yet to testify before the prosecution closes its case against the five suspects
When the case resumes, police officer Nicholas Olesena who had already testified will be cross-examined by Lawyer Ombeta and the other lawyers.
In the case, four Administration Police officers Fredrick Leliman, Sylvia Wanjiru, Leonard Mwangi and Stephen Cheburet alongside police informer Ngugi were charged in 2016 with the murder of Kimani, his client Josephat Mwenda and driver Joseph Muiruri.
The victims' bodies were found afloat in River Ol Donyo Sabuk.
