Albert Ojwang murder trial enters day three as defense declines LSK boycott

The case investigating the murder of teacher and blogger Albert Ojwang enters its third day today, Wednesday, at the Kibera High Court.

Earlier, Justice Diana Kavedza asked the advocates involved in the case whether they would join their colleagues from the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), who have planned a court boycott today, Wednesday. However, they stated that they are ready to proceed with the case as scheduled.

A forensic expert from the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA), who began presenting evidence on Tuesday afternoon, is expected to continue giving evidence on Wednesday before other prosecution witnesses take the stand.

Justice Kavedza expressed her intention to conclude the case within six months. She urged the involved parties to be prepared to attend the sessions according to the allocated dates in order to expedite the delivery of justice.

Former Nairobi Central Police Station Officer Commanding Station (OCS) Samson Talaam, Police Constable Peter Kimani, his colleague James Mukhwana, and three civilians accused of the murder have all denied the charges against them.
