The suspects did not take plea Wednesday.
Muasya and Ndwai are accused of hitting Florence Wanjiku, 28, on the head with a blunt object, and, thereafter, pushed her out of a moving matatu on Valley Road in Nairobi on June 25, 2019.
Florence Wanjiku was travelling to Nairobi city centre from Hurlinghum, when the incident happened.
Florence Wanjiku was taken to the Kenyatta National Hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries. It is alleged that it took nearly one day before doctors attended to her.

The two will be charged on July 25.
