In a dramatic turn of events, three men have been charged in a Kibera court with a series of serious offenses, including robbery with violence, forgery, and indecent assault. The accused, Nashon Otieno Angudha, Felix Ochieng Nyongesa, and Jack Ouma Okwiri, appeared before Senior Principal Magistrate Jacqueline Kahuya, where they denied all charges.
Details of the Alleged Offense
The court heard that the alleged crimes took place on October 28, 2023, at house number 685 in Runda Glory Valley Estate, Nairobi County. According to the prosecution, the accused forcefully robbed an Italian national, Thor Bloomfield, of valuable items including a gold necklace worth USD 10,000 and a Rolex watch valued at USD 20,000, totaling USD 30,000. During the robbery, Bloomfield was reportedly injured.
Second Robbery Incident
In a second count, the accused allegedly robbed a woman of USD 60,000 in cash, a gold necklace worth USD 12,000, and diamond earrings valued at USD 5,000, bringing the total to USD 87,000. It is claimed that the trio used actual violence against the woman during the robbery.
Indecent Assault Charges
The third count involved charges of committing an indecent act with a woman. The prosecution alleged that the three men indecently touched the private parts and breasts of a woman against her will.
Forgery Charges
In addition to the robbery and assault charges, Nashon Otieno Angudha faced a separate charge of possessing forged banknotes. He was allegedly found with USD 9,899 in counterfeit currency in the Kilimani area of Nairobi County on the same day as the robberies.
Document Forgery
All three accused were jointly charged with making documents without authority, with the intent to defraud. The court heard that they created a mineral dealer’s trading license, purporting it to be a genuine document issued by the Ministry of Petroleum and Mining.
