Defence counsel LK Mboge then informed the court that he intended to file no-case-to answer submission.
Yesterday’s proceedings saw the adoption of briefs filed by both the prosecution and the defence counsel.
The case was subsequently adjourned to 16 April 2015, for ruling.
Counsel Mboge told the court that the defence was relying on all the paragraphs in support of the no-case submission on behalf of his client.
