The police had initially sought to detain the woman as they probe how the 40-year old man. It is reported that the two were having a good time at an apartment in Nairobi’s Kilimani area, when he met his death.

The police disclosed that Kimana died on February 28, 2022 at Myra Apartment along Kindaruma road within Kilimani, as the two were having a good time.

“Upon a brief interrogation, Judy admitted that they checked in the apartment on February 28 2022 at 1700hrs and while having sex with the deceased he started producing a whizzing sound then he alighted from the bed, sat on the floor next to the bed while gasping for air,” the report filed in court read in part.

The court heard that medicine, alcoholic drinks and soft drinks were collected from the scene of crime for analysis to ascertain the cause of death.

“That a research was conducted in the house where several assorted medicine, alcoholic drinks and soft drinks believed to be of the deceased was recovered and kept as exhibits,” IO Kibei said in his affidavit.

Kibet further told the court that continued detention of Judy Mwelu Mutinda is necessary for furtherance and finalizing of investigations and that her release could further lead to interference with the investigations.
