Kasarani Directorate of Criminal Investigations Officer (DCIO) Paul Makonge has been summoned over the disappearance of the police file for the case of DJ Brownskin.
This is the second time the police file for the case has been missing since the start of the hearing.
Milimani Law Courts principal magistrate Gilbert Shikwe, was today told that the police file was not in court and neither was the investigating officer present.
“There is no police file and the investigating officer is not present in court neither is any witness. We are seeking for an adjournment and summons to be issued to the DCIO Kasarani to appear in court.” The prosecution stated.
The prosecution further informed the court that the investigating officer had been transferred.
The magistrate noted that the case was of public interest matter and questioned why there was no police file and on one witness in court hence issued the orders for the DCIO to appear in court next month.
“I issue orders to summon the DCIO Kasarani to appear in court on June 5 to explain the whereabouts of the police file, failure to which I will issue a warrant of arrest,.” Shikwe ruled.
Defence lawyer Duncan Okatch, however, stated that the matter was delayed since it was the second time the hearing was not proceeding.
