A KIBERA Court heard how a man posing as a patient robbed his doctor of over Sh250,000 at gunpoint in a clinic.
Dr Karim Mohammed told Senior Magistrate Hellen Wasilwa that he was robbed by a man who first posed as a patient at his Aculasen Institute Clinic at third Parklands Avenue, Nairobi.
He was testifying in a case in which Stephen Mungu Mwangi is charged with robbery with violence.
The offense is said to have been committed on February 5, 2001 at Aculasen Clinic in Nairobi. Lawyer Cecil Miller is prosecuting the case on behalf of the Slate after he was appointed by the Attorney-General Amos Wako to conduct prosecution.
Giving evidence before the court, Dr Karim recalled that on the material day, the accused came posing as a patient and signed the security book. He said the accused also made some payment of Sh 1OOO as consultation fee upon which he was issued with an official receipt. Dr Kaiim told the court that when the patient was brought to his office, he asked him why he was carrying a bag, which the accused applied that he was coming from Mombasa.
He told the court that the accused then drew a gun from his bag and threatened to shoot him and his brother who is also a doctor.
Dr Karim told the court that the accused ordered him to produce all the money he had at the clinic. He said the accused informed him that he was hired by two Asian ladies at Sh5 million to kill him (Dr Karim) and his brother.
