The widow of slain Kiru Boys High School principal Solomon Mwangi on Tuesday pleaded for bail, arguing that her children would be destroyed by her continued incarceration.
Jane Muthoni is the key suspect in the murder of Mwangi, her husband, that took place in November last year.
She argued that accusations against her were all choreographed and fabricated so as to cover the identities of the real killers.
“I plead to be let free on bail so as to take care of my children as I proceed with the trial. I am very much determined to clear my name,” she said in an affidavit.
The trial is currently underway at the High Court in Kiambu.
Muthoni was charged last year on November 22.
The principal went missing on November 6 and his body was found by a security guard on November 13 at the Karuntuma Coffee Estate in Witeithie, Kiambu.
Muthoni, who was a principal at the Ichachiri Boys High School in Kiambu was then arrested same day.
