Sarah Wairimu’s lawyer, Philip Murgor on Tuesday came out guns blazing against prosecution’s claim that he is still a state counsel.
Murgor told High Court Judge Stella Mutuku that he recopied Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji his resignation via WhatsApp.
“I recopied Noording Haji my resignation via WhatsApp and he replied ‘It is OK’,” Murgor said.
The state prosecution filed an application last week seeking to have Murgor removed from the case, saying that he was still a DPP staff.
Murgor is representing Wairimu in the case she is accused of murdering her Dutch husband Tob Cohen.
Despite Murgor’s statement, the prosecution insist that they have evidence that the former DPP is still a state officer.
“I can confirm that the gazette notice has not been revoked,” said state prosecutor Catherine Mutuku.
Justice Mutuku said she will rule on the status of Murgor on Thursday, October 3.
Murgor claimed that the prosecution want him off the case because his presence intimidates them.
Wairimu has not yet taken plea over the murder charge.
Last week, she was allowed to attend Cohen’s burial at the Jewish cemetery near Pangani, but under tight security.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds

Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
