Aisha Jumwa murder trial postponed again

A Mombasa court has pushed the murder trial against Malindi legislator Aisha Jumwa to January next year.

The case, which was scheduled for hearing for three consecutive days starting today (Wednesday), could not proceed because Ms Jumwa’s co-accused, Mr Geoffrey Otieno Okuto, had not instructed his advocate. The postponement is expected to give him enough time to properly instruct his lawyer on the case.
