A serving prisoner has been charged before Milimani Law Courts with defrauding a job seeker Sh 800,000 claiming he would assist her to secure a job at State House.
Patrick Shikure Amere admitted obtaining the money from Dr. Selina Vukinu Ambe alleging he would assist her to get a job as a human resource manager at the State House.
The convict who is serving life imprisonment at Kamiti Maximum Security Prison was not sentenced for the current offense as the Court called for further investigations to bring to book his compliances who have been conning unsuspecting members of the public huge sums of money while in Prison.
” In view of the seriousness of the offense l hereby direct the DCI to investigate the matter deeper with a view to arresting those who were working in cahoots with the accused.
The Prosecution through Anderson Gikunda said the convict while in prison had been communicating all through with the complainant via Facebook account and WhatsApp number 0758185891.
The prisoner admitted the facts as submitted by the state and opted not to mitigate asking the court to pass a verdict as it deems fit.
Shikure is said to have obtained the money on diverse dates between July 24 and September 11, 2020.
“In my view the accused does not appear remorseful at all and he appears to have nothing to lose since he is serving a lifetime sentence in jail,” Kagendo said.
