Former Kabete MP George Muchai Murder Trial Adjourned

The 2015 murder case hearing of the late Kabete MP George Muchai has been adjourned after the accused persons appeared in court today without their defense lawyers.

In gruesome murder, six people were arrested and charged with the murder of the former Kabete MP George Muchai in February 2015.

The six suspects are, Eric Isabwa alias chairman, Raphael Kimani alias Kim Butcher, Mustapha Kimani alias Musto, Stephen Astiva alias Chokore, Jane Wanjiru alias Shiro, Margaret Njeri and Simon Wambugu.

The late George Muchai met his death in Nairobi’s Central Business District early Saturday morning of February 7, 2015, when an unknown assailant sprayed his car with bullets.

His two bodyguards and driver also died in the incident.

At the Murder hour, his wife and Children were in a different vehicle ahead of him and according to his daughter, at the material time, they were heading home from a family gathering in Westlands.

Chief Government pathologist Dr Johansen Oduor who gave his evidence in 2023, said Muchai was shot at close range with a bullet lounged at a very high speed from either a G3 rifle or AK47 gun.

The pathologist further told the court that the gunshot entered through the right side of his abdomen to his right nipple.

In his postmortem report, Dr Oduor said Muchai had lost a lot of blood which explained the pale condition his body was in.

The postmortem report indicated that Muchai’s heart was mildly enlarged.
