A woman who allegedly defrauded a man of Sh550,000 in the company of others has been arraigned at a Thika court.
The woman has been charged with obtaining money fraudulently and also conspiring to defraud.
Edith Nduta appeared before Resident Magistrate Martha Mutuku where the court heard that on June 27, the accused in the company of others not before court, at Four Ways Towers within Nairobi County in fraudulent means conspired to defraud Simon Mwenjera Ndaba a sum of Sh550,000. The group allegedly falsely pretended they would sell him a car registration number KBT 809W which turned out to be false.
The accused had identified herself as a car saleslady to the complainant where she gained his trust thus managing to defraud him with ease.
She denied the charges and was released on a Sh500,000 cash bail and a surety of the same amount.
The prosecution asked the court to join the case with another before the same court involving the accused person.
The court accepted the request and the accused will be in court again on October 11.
