Two security guards who had accused Peter Karanja the estranged husband of Gilgil Mp Martha Wangari of violently robbing them now want to withdraw the charges.

Karanja who also has been charged with another case of murdering billionaire Tob Cohen faces a robbery with violence charges at the Naivasha law courts.

In the current case, Karanja, his brother Joel Kuria and the friend Peter Maina are charged with storming the Mps residential home in Gilgil and attacking the two guards.

According to the charge sheet, the three are accused that on the 9th of November in Teacher’s estate in Gilgil and while armed with crude weapons they robbed Eric Nyongesa and John Kamau off their mobile phones and cash.

During the attack on the two guards from Stega Security Company, the accused used violence before fleeing with the personal effects.

Through their advocate F.I Mburu, the guards opposed an application by the Mp to be enjoined in the case as she was not the complainant adding that they were ready to settle the case out of court.

Naivasha Chief Magistrate Kennedy Bidali will make a ruling on the application on the 23rd January 2020.
