Kesi ya Matonya kuhusu ubakaji yaanza kujikokota

Afisi ya Mkurugenzi wa Mashtaka ya Umma (ODPP) bado haijakabidhi msanii wa Bongo Flava, Sefu Shabani Ramadhan almaarufu Matonya, stakabadhi muhimu za ushahidi. Mahakama ilifahamishwa kuwa upande wa mashtaka haujajitayarisha kikamilifu. Kesi imepangwa kusikilizwa Juni 17.

Mahakama ya Mombasa ilifahamishwa jana kuwa upande wa mashtaka haujajitayarisha kikamilifu na hauna vielelezo vinavyomhusisha Matonya na tuhuma za ubakaji. Stakabadhi muhimu zinazohitajika ni pamoja na maelezo ya mashahidi, ripoti za matibabu zinazothibitisha madai ya ubakaji na ushahidi wa kisayansi.

Aidha, hakimu aliyekuwa akisimamia kesi hiyo awali amepandishwa cheo kuwa Jaji wa Mahakama Kuu. Upande wa mashtaka uliiomba mwelekezo zaidi kuhusu hatua zinazofuata kabla hawajapata stakabadhi hizo.

Matonya alitiwa kizimbani kwa madai ya kutekeleza ubakaji kwenye mjengo mmoja mtaani Nyali. Alikana mashtaka na akapewa dhamana, lakini alinyimwa pesa taslimu kwa sababu si Mkenya. Kwa sasa yuko huru baada ya kuwasilisha pasipoti yake mahakamani na stakabadhi zilizohitajika.
