The case in which two people have been charged with the murder of businesswoman Mary Wambui Kamangara failed to start yesterday following a new application.

Joseph Kori, Wambui's widower, was to take to the witness stand at the High Court in Kiambu when it emerged that businessman Ephantus Nyaga Njagi had filed an application seeking orders to compel police to release his car.
