In Summary

  • Khan is believed to have injured himself after allegedly kicking a glass door during an altercation with Wahome.








The trial of rally driver Maxine Wahome in the murder case of her boyfriend, Asad Khan, resumes today at the High Court before Justice Lilian Mutende.

Wahome faces charges in connection with Khan’s death on December 19, 2022, following a severe leg injury sustained on December 12, 2022, at his Kileleshwa residence.

Khan is believed to have injured himself after allegedly kicking a glass door during an altercation with Wahome.

The injury led to significant blood loss, which, according to the defense, required urgent medical attention and ultimately resulted in multiple organ failure while he was undergoing treatment at a hospital.

The defense argues that Khan’s injuries were self-inflicted during a heated altercation, emphasising that his death stemmed from medical complications rather than direct actions by Wahome.

They maintain that Khan’s behaviour may have been influenced by the substances found in his system, contributing to his alleged aggression.

On the other hand, the prosecution contends that Wahome intentionally caused Khan’s fatal injuries, pointing to the leg wound that reportedly came from a sharp object.

Wahome denied the charges.

The case continues today as both parties present their arguments before Justice Mutende.
