    "content": "The High Court sittings at Kakuma were not satisfied that there was enough evidence to prefer a charge of murder. Amongst the grounds that the High Court was not satisfied with, and which they communicated to the State Counsel, was that although some witnesses recorded statements that some Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs) shot the deceased, the actual KPR who shot at the man was not identified. There was a commotion. Secondly, no identification parade was conducted. Thirdly, the firearms examiner's report dated 25th November, 2005 concluded that it was hard to ascertain the calibre of the bullet head recovered. Fourthly, it was not possible to ascertain which of the recovered firearms fired it. There were very many other grounds. So, the High Court advised and ordered that the matter be referred for public inquest at the first instance. That is what is going on and 48 witnesses have given evidence. Only five witnesses are remaining so that the inquest could be closed. We shall then see what to do next. In other words, the murder charge is still alive should the inquest court find that there is evidence."
