Mr Onyango said the deceased had been charged before a Nyahururu court with threatening to kill his wife Njeri and Mr William Masinde Muholi in 2010.
He also faced a third count of being in possession of a firearm. By the time of his demise the attempted murder charges had been withdrawn leaving the firearms case.
Two top government pathologists have concurred that 2008 Beijing Olympics marathon champion, Samuel Kamau Wanjiru, was hit with a blunt object before he died at his Nyahururu residence 10 years ago, a court heard Monday.
Mr Isaac Onyango, a senior crime detective at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), told Milimani Law Court Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi that two pathologists, Dr Moses Njue and Dr Emily Rogena, agreed “Wanjiru was hit at the back of his head with a blunt object before his death.”
