UN staff who battered his estranged wife arrested & charged with assault (PHOTOS)
Police have arrested the United Nations Environment Programme employee accused of battering his ex-wife. Alphonse
Kambu was arrested at Garden Estate in Kasarani , around 9.30am on
Wednesday, November 4, police boss Robinson Mboloi said.
The
UNEP staff beat up his ex-wife, Ruth Gakii, in her apartment three
weeks ago and told her he enjoys diplomatic immunity hence there is
nothing she could do.
He was arraigned at Milimani Law Courts on Thursday, November 5, on assault charges. He denied the charge. Mr. Kambu will spend
the weekend in remand custody pending a determination on his bail
terms. The prosecution has objected to his release on bail and wants him incarcerated until the case is heard and determined.
Prosecutor
Jacinta Nyamusi said the suspect had been threatening the complainant
and was likely to interfere with prosecution witnesses.
However,
his lawyers told the court that the prosecution’s allegations were
far-fetched and that Mr Kambu was willing to abide by any condition that
the court may peg to his bond terms.
A ruling will be made on November 9.
