A case in which two people have been charged in Butere court over claims that they threatened to kill and also extort money from Mumias Sugar Managing Director Dr. Evans Kidero at long last started.
The two Mustafa Juma and Lusule Ole Sangale have been charged that on 12th December 2008 they threatened to kill the C.E.O and further demanded Kshs. 200,000 from him in order to avert everything.
Mustafa Juma who is the first accused stunned the court once again when he demanded for an adjournment for the third time on grounds that he was unwell and needed treatment. The second accused Lusule Ole Sangale however remained mute during the entire proceedings.
He has been in police custody for almost six months after he had jumped bail. Last month when the case came up for hearing Mustafa demanding that his bail plea be granted but the prosecution stood ground arguing that his papers for the same were dubious to warrant a reprieve.
All the seven witnesses were in attendance and Dr. Evans Kidero the complainant, was the first one to be in the witness box.
Three witnesses testified and the remaining are slated to testify on 25th Sept 2009 during second hearing.
