A ruling on a case against five suspects charged with terrorism counts in relation to the 2015 Garissa University terror attack will be made next week.
Nairobi's Milimani Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi will deliver the ruling on Wednesday next week.
The five suspects, Charles Mberesero, Mohamed Ali Abdikadir, Hassan Aden Hassan, Sahal Diriye and Osman Abdi were charged in 2015 with 150 counts of terrorism.
In his submission on the case, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), through Prosecution Counsel Duncan Ondimu, asked the trial court to put the accused persons on their defence.
Ondimu told the trial magistrate court that the prosecution has proved a prima-facie case against the five suspects.
The prosecutor further told the court that circumstantial evidence against the five accused persons is too strong.
"There is no doubt a terrorist act was committed on April 2, 2015, at Garissa University College by the five accused persons and others not before this court," the prosecutor said in his written submissions.
The prosecutor recommended a death sentence should the five be found guilty of the terror charges.
One hundred and forty-seven students lost their lives during the April 2, 2015, deadly terror attack at Garissa University College.
The Garissa University attack was condemned by leaders across the world and saw the government heighten security at the university and the larger Northern Kenya region.
