Four individuals are scheduled to take their plea today at the Kibera Law Courts in Nairobi regarding 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 clinic itself, Body by Design Hospital—failed to appear in court on Tuesday.
They are expected to face charges of manslaughter.
The group was originally slated to enter their plea yesterday, but their absence prompted the court to reschedule the hearing for today.
The charges stem from the death of Wambui on October 6, 2024, at Omnicare Medical Limited, also known as Body by Design, located on Kabarsiran Avenue in Nairobi County.
Senior Principal Magistrate Temu has ordered the suspects to appear in court by 9:00 a.m. The prosecution team in this case is led by Maryanne Mwangi and Samson Ngetich.
