The directive was issued on Tuesday morning, January 26, by Kiambu Chief Magistrate Patricia Gichohi after a mental and age assessment conducted at Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital revealed that Warunge is not fit to stand trial.
Warunge's girlfriend, Sarah Muthoni, who was also held as a suspect in the killings of the suspect's parents, siblings, and a farmhand, has been turned into a prosecution witness.
