A KIBERA court was yesterday urged to sentence to death a violent robbery suspect who allegedly demanded a Sh10 million ransom for two medical doctors he had abducted.
Special prosecutor lawyer, Cecil Miller, told Principal Magistrate Hellen Wasilwa that the prosecution had proved beyond reasonable doubt that Stephen Mango Mwangi violently robbed Dr Karim Mohammed and his brother Dr Amin Mohammed. Miller who was appointed by the Attorney-General, Amos Wako, to prosecute the case said that the cured had positively been identified by witnesses as the one who attacked the complainants at their clinic while armed with a gun.
He said the fact that the accused pose as a patient before launching his attack on the two doctors was a proof that he had ill-intentions. The lawyer said the two doctors suffered mental trauma and anguish while in the hands of the accused who terrorized them the many hours. Miller who was making his final sub-missions in the case urged the court to disregard the defense evidence saying it was not arcane Mwangi is charged that on February 5, 2001, at Aculaser Clinic in Parklands, Nairobi, while armed with dangerous weapons namely a pistol and a knife, violently rubbed the two doctors of cash amounting to Sh250,000 and demanded Sh10 million more to spare their lives.
Miller told the court that the accused engaged the police officers in a fierce shoot-out by the time of his arrest at the scene. He submitted that the accused was booked as a patient after paying Sh 1,000 as consultancy fees upon which he appended his signature.
