KU student charged in court for illegal possession of fire arms
A third year
student in Kenyatta University and his colleague were on Thursday charged in a
Thika court with having been found in possession of two pistols and three
rounds of ammunition. They were arrested last Saturday in Ruiru Town and have
since been in police custody.
The student,
Eric Macharia, 21, and Kennedy Muchira Muthee a resident of Ruiru town appeared
before the Thika Chief Magistrate Antony Kimani Ndungu. They were charged that
on May 9 this year in Ruiru town, they were found with the said weapons as they
suspiciously prepared to commit a crime. They denied the charges and were
released on Ksh 100,000 bond and a surety of a similar amount.
In
mitigation, Macharia urged for leniency by the court by virtue of being a
student.
