REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT MERU CRIMINAL CASE NO. 53 OF 2013 REPUBLIC......................................................PROSECUTOR VERSUS FRANCIS KINYUA ABDI alias RASTA.......1ST ACCUSED JULIUS MWENDA HENRY..........................2ND ACCUSED RULING I have considered the application for bond/bail. I have also carefully considered the pre-bail report dated 24/04/2017. I note that both the Accused disappeared from their locality after the offence was committed. That they are a flight risk. I have further considered that the Community is extremely negative about their release. There is further apprehension by the witnesses in this case that they may be interfered with if released. To my mind, these are compelling reasons not to admit both Accused to bail. Accordingly, their application for bond is hereby declined. They will conduct their trial while in custody. Hearing on 20/06/2017. DATED, SIGNED AND DELIVERED THIS 2ND DAY OF MAY, 2017. A. MABEYA JUDGE 02/05/2017
