The High Court in Nairobi will on April 5 deliver judgement in a case where self-confessed ‘serial killer’ Philip Onyancha is charged with three counts of murder.
High court Judge James Wakiaga will deliver the judgement after the prosecution and defense lawyers closed the case on Thursday.
According to the prosecution,13 witnesses among them two doctors testified in the murder trial.
The court had earlier found Onyancha with a case to answer and placed him on defense.
The self-confessed ‘serial killer’ is charged alongside Thomas Nyabuhanga Aradi and Douglas Obiero.
Onyancha was arrested in June 2010 and confessed to being a ‘serial killer’.
He told and led police to various places across the country where he had confessed to have killed 19 women and children and hid their bodies.
In 2014 after undergoing mental assessment and found fit to stand trial, the then Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko recommend that Onyancha be charged with three counts of murder.
Onyancha pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The self confessed 'serial killer' co-accused also denied three counts of murder and their trial is still ongoing in court.
Onyancha was in 2010 convicted by a Kibera law court after he was found guilty of attempted rape and assault.
