Four suspected terrorists charged with murder of 147 students at Garissa University in April 2015 will know their fate today.

The four are Rashid Mberesero, Sahal Diriy Hussein, Hassan Edin Hassan and Muhamed Abdi Abikar.

Milimani Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi in January this year acquitted a fifth suspect Osman Abdi Dagane, who was a watchman at the university, due to lack of evidence linking him to the attack.

Charges

The five were put on trial in January 2016 with 22 witnesses testifying.

They denied a total of 156 counts over the morning attack that left 147 students dead.
