The murder trial of Lawrence Njoroge Warunge has once again been halted temporarily after the prosecution informed the court that he was unfit to stand trial.
The prosecution revealed that Warunge was still unfit to stand trial because he was still under medication.
Kiambu Chief Magistrate Patricia Gichohi, directed the prosecution team to provide an update on the accused mental status on Monday, March 15.
The court heard that Warunge will visit Mathari hospital in Nairobi on Friday, March 5, for a review of his mental state.
The 22-year-old, Information Technology (IT) student is currently being held at the Industrial Area Remand Prison.
A Kiambu Law Court on January 26, ruled that Warunge was unfit to stand trial after a psychiatrist released his mental results in the court.
The court ordered Warunge to be remanded for a further 30 days after which a second mental assessment would be undertaken.
The magistrate further ordered Warunge to be held in police custody in Nairobi until March 1, 2021, when the matter would have been mentioned.
Warunge confessed to killing five people among them his family members in Kiambu County.
They include his father Nicholas Njoroge Warunge, his mother Ann Wanjiku, his nephew Maxwell Njenga, his brother Christian Njenga Njoroge and farmhand James Kinyajui Wambaa.
