DCI after woman who framed her husband in defilement case

The DCI headquarters.

Police now want to start investigating an estranged wife who framed his husband in a defilement case. This is after the prosecution wrote to the Embu police to petition them to initiate the probe. Embu Senior Prosecutor, Leah Mati has allowed Embu DCI to press criminal charges on the woman with two others saying they conspired to fix the Kirinyaga based church elder in the criminal offence. Mati in a letter dated April, 14 told the police that there was evidence to show the minor, had not been defiled by the man.

According the letter, the trumped up charge was part of a larger plot by the jilted woman to fix her ex-husband over a divorce case. “The estranged wife was the mastermind of the entire plot with the aim of framing her ex-husband, who they are embattled in a divorce case,” said Mati. “I am therefore in agreement with recommendation that the wife and two others should be charged with the offences of conspiracy to defeat justice."
