Two touts working with Marimba Investment have been arraigned in court today over murder charges.

Ian Mbugua and George Irungu appeared before Lady Justice Jessie Lessit on Wednesday but did not plead to the charges since they lacked a lawyer to represent them.

The two are said to have killed Joseph Ng'ethe Kiarie last year on December 24.

The deceased was allegedly beaten to death by matatu crew in Nairobi on the Christmas eve after an altercation with them.

According to the prosecution, the two have been confirmed fit to stand trial.The matter will be brought for mentioning again on January 24 when they are set to answer to murder charges.
