An elderly woman has been charged with
conspiring with a convict jailed at the Kamiti Maximum Prison to steal over Ksh.7
million from a businesswoman.
Pamela Akinyi Wara was charged that on
diverse dates between May 1, 2020 and September 17, 2020, she conspired with
Hesbon Onyango Nyamweya to steal Ksh.7.6 million from Purity Karambu
Laird.
“Between the 1st day of May 2020 and the 7th
day of September 2020 within the Republic of Kenya, otherwise than in the course
of stealing, dishonestly undertook the retention of Kshs.7,656 500/= knowing or
having reason to believe the money was acquired through theft,” read court documents.
The court also heard that her accomplice,
Hesbon, is a convicted sex offender currently serving a life sentence at the Kamiti
Maximum Prison.
Akinyi faced three counts among them
stealing, handling stolen goods and conspiracy to commit a felony contrary to
the Penal Code.
Appearing before Milimani Law Courts on
Friday, the accused denied all the charges levelled against her and was
released on Ksh.2 million bond terms.
She was directed to appear before the court
on September 5, 2024.
