Maxine Wahome and Asad Khan fought occasionally, neighbour testifies

The court was told that Maxine and the deceased (Asad) used to have differences and they would fight from time to time. 

“From the time I moved in that house the two used to fight ...sometimes in a month I would not hear anything and sometimes I would hear it twice a week,” the neighbour testified. 

Chemutai Kipkorir testified that on December 12, 2022, she was in her house when she heard commotion from Asad's house.

Although she did not get out of her house to try and intervene or separate the two, Chemutai told the court that she heard a woman crying amid the commotion. 

"When he was yelling I heard ..."Get out of my house" then I heard the lady crying ......I went to my living room and used my house intercom to call the guard," court was told. 

Chemutai told court that she heard the guard knocking the door, ringing the bell and going downstairs. 

“Thereafter the commotion stopped for about five minutes and then the commotion started again. I heard sounds of a struggle that's what I could hear,” she testified. 

The neighbour says she went on to call 911 and the Kileleshwa association chairman. 

“I heard glasses falling from my dining room window ....I tried to call 911 and Kileleshwa because it was terrifying and sought of police intervention,” Chemutai added, saying she heard someone groaning afterwards. 

“I heard someone saying Kalulu…Kalulu (Asad) what has happened...I went to my balcony window and I could see neighbors and the chairman. They brought him down and took him outside as one of the neighbours brought a car. I was seeing all this from my balcony. I could see he was covered with blood and could see they were pressing one of the leg,” she stated. 

Chemutai was further cross examined on Asad’s temper. 

“I knew he had a violent temper. Before Maxine ...the ex girlfriend was also subjected to violence. There would be an argument but those ladies would leave,” she said.
