‘Body by Design’ Clinic proprietors to take plea Wednesday

Four suspects are set to take plea Wednesday at the Kibera Law Courts in Nairobi, in connection with the death of Lucy Wambui Kananu.

The suspects; Robert Maweu Mutula, a surgeon, George Wakaria Njoroge, Lilian Edna Wanjiru, the proprietor of Body by Design and the Body by Design hospital failed to appear in court yesterday.

They are expected to face manslaughter charges.

The suspects were initially scheduled to take their plea today but missed the court appearance, prompting the court to reschedule the hearing for today.

The charges relate to the death of Lucy Wambui Kamau on 6th October 2024, at Omnicare Medical Limited, also known as Body by Design, located on Kabarsiran Avenue in Nairobi County.

Senior Principal Magistrate Hon. Temu directed the suspects to be in court by 9:00am. Prosecution in this case is led by Maryanne Mwangi and Samson Ngetich.
