Wycliffe Aloys Orinda, an accused person who became famous after confessing smoking bhang to understand the BBI, has protested after he found himself in the same cell with Lawrence Warunge, the university student accused of killing five members of his family.
The petty offender appeared before a Nairobi court on Thursday, January 28, claiming that his life was in danger and sought to be freed from the Industrial Area Remand.
He added that he was not at peace sharing the same cell with Warunge who had confessed to the gruesome murders of his family members in Kiambu County.
He noted that his belongings had also been stolen while at the remand.
"Your honor, they took off my shoes and trouser and I am being held with another suspect who killed five family members. I am scared my life is in danger,” he stated.
Due to the claims, Orinda sought the court to release him on the basis that the remand was not a safe place.
Nairobi Chief Magistrate Martha Mutuku, however, ruled that the suspect was to undergo a mental examination at Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital, Nairobi County.
The suspect had been accused of creating a disturbance at his wife's workplace in the city centre, Nairobi County.
It's reported that Orinda stormed the offices demanding to see his children. Orinda pleaded guilty to the charges.
The suspect recently had rocked the social media waves when he confessed in court to using bhang and other substances in order to be attracted to older women.
Recently, Warunge had been remanded for 30 days following a mental examination report from Mathari National hospital that deemed him unfit for trial.
The court ruled that a second mental examination report would be carried out to ascertain the report.
Furthermore, they ruled that the case would be mentioned on March 1, 2021.
The suspect's girlfriend Sarah Muthoni, who had been accused of aiding and abetting Warunge in committing the crime was released after she reached a deal with the State to become a state witness against the university student.
