A magistrate has summoned the boyfriend of Keroche Breweries heiress to testify over her death. Principal Magistrate Zainab Abdul yesterday ruled that Omar Lali had been adversely mentioned by witnesses in the inquest into the death of Tecra Mugai, noting that he must appear either in person or through his lawyers during the next hearing.

“It is important that he participates in the proceedings. The summons is for him to appear in court and will also be required at some point to testify in person,” ruled Abdul. Omar was the last person believed to have been in the company of Tecra before the alleged fatal fall that cost her life in Lamu in May last year.
