Criminal Litigation

1. On the night of 10^th October, 2015, Bwana and Bibi were resting at their Pepo Lane home in Zuri village. At about 9 p.m. they heard their dogs barking and shortly thereafter Machozi the watchman was at the front door knocking frantically. Bwana opened the door and two men wielding guns ordered them including Machozi to lie down. The armed men proceeded to tie them and then removed their gold watches, wedding rings, Bibi’s diamond necklace and earrings. They stuffed the valuables into a bag. They then picked two Iphones, two Ipads and two laptop computers and packed them into the same bag.

Meanwhile Dhahabu, Machozi’s wife arrived and headed for the main house to find out why the gate was wide open. The two gunmen on finding out that she was the watchman’s wife requested her to get them drinking water. They followed her to their (Watchman’s) quarters, raped her and left. Still in shock Dhahabu went to the main house where she managed to untie her husband, Bwana and Bibi.

Bwana and Bibi reported the matter to Mateso Bila Chuki Police Station. Inspector Kaa Chonjo was assigned the investigations. Meanwhile, two gentlemen Supu and Bora arrived at the police station the following day hurling insults at each other. It turned out that Bora had sold an IPad and jewelry to Supu and Supu’s complaint was that Bora had failed to avail the proper documentation for the IPad and the jewelry.

Bora offered to take Kaa Chonjo to the place where he had bought the IPad and jewelry that he had sold to Supu. They proceeded to a house in Jiji Jinga belonging to Jicho and Pevu. They found the two men, Jicho and Pevu. The two were showing some watches and laptops to two other men who melted away as soon as they saw kaa Chonjo. Jicho and Pevu also tried to get away but were restrained by Bora and the chief Inspector. As Jicho and Pevu could not produce documentation with respect to the goods, Kaa Chonjo ordered them to carry all the items to the police station. He then called Bwana and Bibi who came and identified the two Ipads and two watches as those that had been stolen from them. They both said they had been too terrified to look directly at the gunmen during the attack but were convinced that they were of the same build as Jicho and Pevu.

Kaa Chonjo would like to prefer charges.
