A man who allegedly killed a nurse two days ago was on Friday arraigned in court facing murder charges.
According to the charge sheet presented before the deputy registrar Roselyn Oganyo, the accused, Joseph Njoroge Mungai, is alleged that on 6th December, 2017 at about 19:20pm at Chiromo Lane Medical Center in Parklands area within Nairobi County murdered 43-year-old Faustine Mwandime Mwandliu, a nurse.

The suspect, who has a mental condition, was on Wednesday 6th December admitted while in possession of the gun after he declined to surrender it to the hospital’s security.
