The age of the main suspect in the Nairobi Hospital Finance Eric Maigo murder has been revealed to be over 18 years, and fit to stand trial.
Doctors at the Mathari Hospital in Nairobi have proved that Anne Adhiambo is of sound mind and above 18 years old, therefore, an adult fit for trial.
Tests revealed that Adhiambo was aged between 20 to 21 years contrary to previous reports that she could be a minor aged 17 to 18 years
Adhiambo was captured on CCTV cameras escaping from the late Maigo's home in Woodley Estate on September 15, before jumping off the fence.
She was later arrested at the Olympic area in Kibra on September 26 after a manhunt by detectives backed by a tip-off from the public.
The Nairobi Hospital Finance Director's body was found in his house with 25 stab wounds with the cause of his brutal murder yet to be established.
After her arraignment on September 27, the prosecution requested more days to enable more investigations and establish her mental state and fitness to face trial.
On the lapse of 21 days on the 28th this month she is set to face charges for the murder of the Nairobi Hospital Finance Director.
Anne Akinyi Adhiambo already recorded a statement with the police and will await her trial after the 21-day lapse.
The late Maigo was laid to rest in his home at Kiumbu in Kisii county in a low-key burial ceremony as the family did not want the presence of the media.
The family accused the media of misreporting Maigo's murder and demanded justice from the authorities citing cover-up.
“I am very sad and hurt by the killing of my grandson. Stop killing people. God has commanded us to respect life. I pray that God will comfort my children,” Maigo's grandfather stated.
