A Kangema court will give its judgement in a divorce case involving an elderly couple later this month.

Principal Magistrate Dennis Kivuti said he would deliver the judgment on May 25 after parties involved in the case gave their final submissions through their lawyers Gichuki Waiganjo and Margaret Nyangati.

Marcella Mukami, 73, wants to divorce her husband Peter Kinyugo, 76.

Mukami accuses Kinyugo of discriminating her in favour of her co-wife Triza Mulinge. The couple have been married for more than 50 years.

During hearing, Kinyugo and Mulinge pleaded with Mukami to terminate the proceedings and return to their Kiria-ini home.
