A clinical officer who allegedly murdered his girlfriend was on Monday charged in the Kisii high court.
The clinical officer identified as Edward Mogoko a clinical officer attached to the Ogembo hospital in Kisii, appeared before Justice Winfridah Okwany on Monday morning but denied committing the offence.
According to the charge sheet, Mr Mogoko planned and murdered Ms Valerie Kemunto, a university student on December 9, 2017.
Ms Kemunto, was a third-year student at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, Kisii campus.
The lifeless body of the deceased was found in a Kisii based guest house where they had retired with the suspect by a cleaner.
The prosecutor told the court that they had enough evidence to prove that Mr Mogoko was behind the murder of the student as investigations had proved that the two were not in good terms a few days to the murder of the lady.
Justice Okwany remanded Mogoko who was unrepresented in custody pending the hearing of the case which is scheduled for May 24, 2018.
