Meru Governor Mutuma M'Ethingia on Tuesday appeared before the Kiambu High Court to testify in a case involving the murder of Meru-based blogger Daniel Muthiani, commonly known as "Sniper."

Muthiani disappeared late last year, and his body was later discovered dumped in River Nithi, a case that has since resulted in the arrest and prosecution of five suspects linked to his death.
