Kenyan Senior Magistrate Accused of Killing Lawyer Husband Denied Bail

Nyeri Senior Resident Magistrate Pauline Chesang will spend more weeks in a police cell after she was denied bail in a case where she is accused of killing her husband, lawyer Robert Chesang.

On Thursday, Machakos Court judge David Kimei has directed police to detain Ms. Chesang at Athi River Police Station pending the hearing of the matter on May 29th, 2019.

Justice Kimei further says that the matter will be heard at Machakos trial court under Justice George Odunga, where all the accused persons in the case will be arraigned.

Lawyer Robert Chesang was shot dead by gunmen at his Lukenya home in Machakos County on February 17th, 2019.

His wife, who is suspected to have hired the men to kill him, was arrested and charged with murder.

Detectives believe the motive of the murder was domestic violence occasioned by the tussle for properties.

Ms. Chesang was arrested and charged alongside three other suspects among them retired National Intelligence Service (NIS) officer Laurence Metayo Lempesi, and police constables Peter Muendo Mbithi and Alex Wanyonyi Wanyama.

Mr. Chesang was laid to rest on March 16th at Kalabata village, Baringo North.

  1. So this Chesang woman will…
    So this Chesang woman will spend more time in jail than her fellow killers like Obando who killed not one but two and is sitting pretty in the governors throne. Lawyer Nyakundi who happens to also be Chesangs lawyer killed son point blank and went to hospital instead of police cell.Chesang is in the right place and its rather unfortunate these other two are not. We need to have some sort of uniformity of consequences in some of these serious cases.

  2. Dada Chesang: Jina lako la…
    Dada Chesang: Jina lako la kwanza (Pauline) linaonyesha ya kwamba, wewe ni mkristo!
    Nilipokuwa mfuasi kondoo na pia mkristo kama wewe, nilifundishwa ya kwamba, amri mojawapo kumi za “mungu” wa Wayahudi, zasema, “USIUE.”

    Imekuwaje ukasahau amri hii muhimu sana ya “mungu” wako halafu ukayatoa maisha ya binadamu mwenzako duniani?

  3. So unfortunate. Others say…
    So unfortunate. Others say that her husband who was older than she was, was jealous of her family’s wealth and the fact that her ( Pauline’s) mum bought her property and stashed lots of quid in her account. Pauline’s mum is a Judge in Kenya. This didn’t sit well with her hubby who would cause commotion over that issue. Mambo ni mob hii dunia. Just be content with what you got. Ugomvi wa mali between married couples never ends vizuri.
