The owner of Vinepack Industries go-down where 1 million kilograms of condemned sugar disappeared earlier this year yesterday gave a blow-blow account of the incident, further deepening the mystery of the disappearance of the consignment.

Appearing before the Trade and Industry Committee, Peter Mwangi revealed how he collapsed upon realisation that the 20,000 bags of condemned sugar had disappeared and the subsequent torture he underwent shortly after arrest by Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officers.
