Six people were on Friday convicted with the murder of the late Juja MP George Thuo who was poisoned at Porkies Club in Thika in 2013.

Justice Roslyn Korir  ruled that the prosecution had proved its case against the Club owner Paul Wainaina Boiyo alias Sheki, Thuo’s aide Christopher Lumbazio Andika alias Lumba, DJs Andrew Karanja Wainaina and Samuel Kuria Ngugi alias Visi, Esther Ndinda Mulinge, a waiter, and a patron, Ruth Watahi Irungu alias Atlanta.

“It’ is my findings that the prosecution has proved its case and  each accused is convicted accordingly,” ruled the judge.

The Judge agreed with the doctors’ reports that Thuo’s cause of death was haemorrhagic gastroenteritis due to poisoning.

She noted that the poison was Cyhalothrine pesticide which would lead to death in five to ten minutes once ingested into the body.

“The poison was traced in his liver, kidney and the shirt the ex-MP was wearing on the material day…I find the forensic evidence clearly shows Thuo consumed a poisoned laced drink at Porkies club,” she ruled.

She noted that the prosecution evidence did not show any of them had the said poison, that alone would not exonerate them if there was any circumstantial evidence linking them to the murder.

“Poison is a chemical weapon. I reject the submission that they would be acquitted if they are not found in possession of the poison,” she said.
