Four men connected to the murder of former Kabete Member of Parliament George Muchai, along with his two bodyguards and the driver, appeared before Milimani Law Court on Thursday, April 9th, 2026, for sentencing before Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina.
The four, Erick Munyera, Raphael Kimani, Mustafa Kimani, and Stephen Asitiva were found guilty of multiple crimes, including robbery with violence—violations of Section 296(2) of the Penal Code and possession of firearms and ammunition without certification, contrary to Section 4(2)(a) read with Section 4(3)(b) of the Firearms Act.
The case dates back from the events of the night of February 6–7, 2015, when an armed gang launched a daring attack along Kenyatta Avenue, Nairobi and fatally shot the former MP, his two bodyguards, and their driver, shocking the entire nation.
The same criminal group not only carry out this deadly attack but also engaged in aseries of robberies. They targeted members of the public, violently dispossessing victims of their personal belongings amid the chaos of that night.
Among those robbed were Michael Ngatia, Gladys Waithera, and Irene Muthoni. The suspects, armed with a G3 rifle and pistols, threatened to use violence during the robberies.
In these incidents, the accused stole property valued at KSh 1.1 million. The stolen items included two motor vehicles, a gas cylinder, four mobile phones, a laptop, and cash.
The court also noted notable similarities among several robberies linked to the accused. These included the pattern of the attackers involved, the weapons used, the coordination during the assaults, and the sequence of events.
This evidence strengthened the prosecutor’s case, tying the suspects to multiple crimes.
Additionally, the court sentenced two other accused persons, Jane Wanjiru and Margaret Njeri, to ten years in prison for being in possession of a firearm and ammunition without a valid firearm certificate.
