Delivering her ruling on Tuesday, Justice Lilian Mutende declared that Wahome had no case to answer, ruling that state attorneys failed to establish a prima facie case against her. Throughout the trial, Wahome maintained her innocence, stating that Khan sustained his injuries during a domestic dispute in their apartment. Because the prosecution relied heavily on circumstantial evidence, Justice Mutende noted that the state needed to exclude all reasonable alternative explanations before securing a conviction. In reviewing the couple’s relationship history, Justice Mutende evaluated WhatsApp messages that showed Khan repeatedly calling Wahome while she was out socializing. Finding the state’s case insufficient to require a defense presentation, the court cleared Wahome of all charges.
