Frank Wanyama and Alex Olaba, two rugby players found guilty of rape last year and handed 15-year jail terms, were yesterday released on a cash bail of Sh300,000 each.

This was after the High Court last week ordered a retrial of their case, where they were accused of raping WA, as she was identified in court, on the night of February 10, 2018. At the time, she was an upcoming artiste.
