The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has asked the High Court to allow the murder trial of slain athlete Agnes Tirop to proceed, even though the prime suspect, Ibrahim Rotich, has been missing since February this year. In previous hearings, however, Justice Wananda reprimanded the DCI for failing to re-arrest Rotich, who skipped court after being released on a Ksh500,000 cash bail. Rotich had been granted bail by Justice Wananda two years ago under strict conditions. Court Issues New DirectivesIn his latest ruling, Justice Wananda gave the ODPP 14 days to file a formal application so the court can issue further directions on whether to proceed with the trial. The ODPP can file the application so that the court is in a position to give further directions,” said the judge.
