Mboya, a licensed gun holder, shot Osewe at an eatery in Garden Estate, in what he says was self-defence.

He alleges that Osewe attacked him, accusing him of having an affair with his wife.

Mboya, however, denied the charge before Magistrate Charity Oluoch Friday morning.

The prosecution demanded that Mboya be compelled to remain within the court’s jurisdiction and special care be taken that he may not interfere with the witnesses involved in the case.

The accused was released on a Sh300,000 cash bail.

The case will be mentioned on December 23 and heard on February 1, 2017.
