Rally Driver Maxine Wahome Maintains Late Boyfriend Died After Cutting Himself During Domestic Fight

Award Winning Safari Rally Driver Maxine Wahome has mantained her innocence in the murder of her late boyfriend Asad Khan injured himself during a domestic altercation that led to his fatal injuries.

This came up in court on Monday during hearing of the mueder case where she was charged with the murder of Asad who succumbed to his wounds days after the fight.

In a video played in court by her lawyers, Maxine is heard crying emotionally when the officers arrived at the scene.

In the video, two police officers are seen speaking with Maxine telling her to open the door which she initially refused to open it but she later opened for them.

In the video, Maxine is heard saying, “Why should I be the one to open the door when I’m the victim? I have been beaten… He cut himself… He kicked that window… I will show you.”

Police officer John Wambua testified that he received a report initially classified as grievous harm, which was later escalated to murder. He stated that upon arriving at the scene, he found several items, including an empty soda water bottle.

During cross-examination, defense lawyer Phillip Murgor questioned Wambua on why he had not used the word alleged when describing the incident, implying a presumption of guilt rather than neutrality.

“You know that everything is an allegation before it’s proved,”asked Lawyer Phillip Murgor

Wambua confirmed that there’s a possibility that the late Assad could have injured himself while trying to reach to Maxine who was the balcony taking refuge from him during the fight.

“Can we say that Assad is a victim of his own recklessness?”Murgor asked

However, Wambua said he was not the right person to make the determination on who was the victim between deceased or the accused person.

During cross examination, Murgor pointed one picture showing that there was blood stains on broken window and a piece of flesh which the defence believes was Assad’s.

Additionally, the prosecution presented over 50 photographs taken from various angles, depicting the crime scene. Among the evidence, the court was shown bloodstains that appeared to indicate the direction the victim had moved.

Maxine has denied the murder charge, maintaining that she acted in self-defense which her lawyers have expressed to court.

Maxine was charged with the murder of her boyfriend, Asad Khan. It is alleged that on December 12 at Preston Apartments on Oloitoktok Road, she murdered Asad Khan.

The trial continues as the court examines more evidence in this high-profile case.
