Kenyan national Joshua Mulundi (21) is the prime suspect in the ‘Ulimboka kidnapping and attempted murder case’ and in an interesting turn of events he has asked the court to call the Kenyan High Commissioner to Tanzania to appear in court on his behalf. His case was brought up for mention yesterday before Resident Magistrate Agnes Mchome of Kisutu Resident Magistrate’s Court where the judge informed the defendant that it is not the court’s place nor duty to contact witnesses, advocates or anyone else for that matter for the defendants.
The defendant was however not satisfied
with the judge's response, which included advice to him to write to the
Kenyan High Commission stating his wishes and request, so he threatened
to go on strike unless he got to see the authority in charge of the
court other than the judge.
His wishes were granted and when he met
the Principal Resident Magistrate Ilvin Mugeta, Mulundi inquired as to
why the investigations were taking, in his words ‘so long’
The
accused remains in custody but the case was adjourned for later in the
month, January 23, when it will be brought up for mention.
