The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) officially commenced the terrorism trial for the Kwa Binzaro case involving Paul Nthenge Mackenzie and seven co-accused charged with masterminding 52 deaths linked to extremist religious practices at the Kwa Binzaro area, Kilifi County. According to the prosecution, four of the witnesses are protected witnesses who are expected to give their first account of what transpired at the primary Kwa Binzaro crime scene. The prosecution made the application for the adoption of testimonies of 18 prosecution witnesses who had previously testified before the High Court in Criminal Case No. The court thereafter heard the testimony of Chief Inspector Timothy Bett, a crime scene officer with nine years’ experience, who led a team of forensic experts in documenting the Kwa Binzaro crime scene pursuant to court orders. The witness produced the crime scene documentation and exhibits before the court, including video evidence previously produced before the High Court.
