Evidence so far on record do suggest that the accused person was among those who were present and that he equally participated in gang raping PW1. Prima facie therefore the prosecution has placed before this court strong evidence to warrant the accused be put on his defence which I hereby do. Dated, signed and delivered at Kisumu this 13th day of March, 2014. H.K. JUDGE CHEMITEI
