What you need to know:
Ms Mbuthia and others not before the court, the prosecution claims, jointly murdered Mr Mwangi and dumped his body in a coffee farm in Kiambu County.
Mr Mwangi's body was found by a watchman, his face badly bruised and some of his teeth missing.
Mr Ombele applied for the case to be transferred to the High Court in Kiambu, saying investigations had revealed that the offence was committed in Juja, which lies under the jurisdiction of the Kiambu court.
The widow of Kiru High School Principal Solomon Mwangi has been charged with murder in the High Court in Murang’a.
Jane Muthoni Mbuthia, who has been in remand for the past one week, on Wednesday denied the charges before Justice Hatari Waweru after State Counsel Keya Ombele said medical tests had shown she is fit to stand trial.
