The family of Lawrence Warunge who is behind bars for killing four of his family members and a farmhand, has opposed his application to be released on bail.
They have written to the court stating that Lawrence has been threatening his surviving family members with death even while in custody.
The MKU student is being held at the Industrial Area Remand Prison over the murder of his family members Christian Njenga, Maxwell Njenga, James Kinyajui Wambaa, Nicholas Njoroge Warunge and Ann Wanjiku Njoroge at their Kiambaa home.
The court was also told that he planned to kill his two other sisters but could not because they were in school.
Through his lawyer Ntenga Marube, Lawrence has petitioned the Kiambu High Court for his release on bond
“I spoke to my client and he wishes to apply for bond. We seek a pre-bail report,” Mr Marube told the court.
On the other hand, his family is adamant that their relative be freed on bond, claiming that he still plans to murder his surviving siblings.
“The Warunge and Njenga family have expressed that they do not wish for the accused to be released from custody throughout the length of the case. This is due to the following reasons: The accused, during his arrest, expressed that he had every intention to kill his remaining two sisters and other members of the family as well,” submitted the family through Ndindi & Nadida Advocates.
“The accused has, through different numbers that emanated from the remand prison, threatened the life of his cousin and his family,” the Warunge family has told the court through their lawyer.
I feel he should be given a second chance at life. We all deserve a second chance.
