A Senior Resident Magistrate Wilson Rading in Naivasha has recused himself from the case where a 73-year-old man is charged with conspiracy to murder his wife and four children.

The magistrate said he stepped aside due to the publicity and pressure that the case was attracting. He directed that the file be placed before the principal magistrate for further direction.
