REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT KISUMU HCCRC NO. 8 OF 2018 PROSECUTOR.....................................................................REPUBLIC VERSUS SAMUEL MUGIE LEBOO.................................................. ACCUSED RULING The accused, SAMUEL MUGIE LEBOO, was charged with the offence of Murder contrary to Section 203 as read with Section 204 of the Penal Code. He is alleged to have murdered JOHN LEMISHEN KISOKUN, on 4th March 2018, at Tamu Centre, Muhoroni SubCounty. 1. The prosecution called a total of seven witnesses. 2. The evidence adduced proved that the deceased, John Lemishen Kisokun died due to Severe Massive Internal Bleeding, attributable to a penetrating stab injury to the chest. 3. The evidence further placed the accused at the scene of crime, where an eye-witness saw him holding the probable killer-weapon. 4. I find that the prosecution has established a prima facie case against the accused, which could possibly lead to a conviction if the accused person fails to offer an explanation that could counter the evidence on record. 5. In effect, the accused has a case to answer, and he is therefore put to his defence. DATED, SIGNED and DELIVERED at KISUMU This 6th day of May 2020 FRED A. OCHIENG JUDGE
