The prosecution has lined up 27 witnesses to testify against key suspect Ibrahim Rotich in the murder case of athlete Agnes Tirop.

While appearing before Justice Robert Wananda for a pre-trial conference, the prosecution led by Mark Mugun told the court that Rotich's murder charges would be maintained because his application for plea bargain had been rejected.
