Kitui widow, three children remanded in fraud case

A widow and her three children have been remanded at the Kitui GK Prison.

They failed to raise a Sh2 million cash bail in a conspiracy to defraud case.

Last Friday, Principal Magistrate Johson Munguti granted Kanini Kitili Mwengi, her children Benson Mwanzia Kitili and Mwengi Kitili, and her grandson Kitili Mwendwa a Sh500,000 cash bail each in a land transaction case.

The four denied receiving Sh2.1 million from Paul Linguli on diverse dates between November 23, 2013 and January 29, 2014 for the sale of land parcel Kyangwithya/Tungutu/1124.

In June, the High Court in Machakos declared the sale null and void.
