A police informer has alleged that his co-accused in the murder of rights lawyer Willie Kimani bribed him with Sh15,000 not to mention him adversely.

Mr Peter Ngugi, testifying for the third day, said that Fredrick Leliman gave him the bribe last week and asked him not to disclose the role he played in the killing of Kimani, his client Josephat Mwenda and taxi driver Joseph Muiruri on June 23, 2016.
