A friend of the slain Moi University medical student Ivy Wangeci has denied allegations that her friend was in a relationship with the accused Naftali Kinuthia.

The 28-year-old, who was a close friend to Wangeci and studied together at Alliance High School, testified before Justice Stephen Githinji that Wangeci and the accused had reunited around 2017 after parting ways for years since they were together in primary school.
