Peter Mwangi Njenga alias Ole Sankale, the lead suspect in the murder of former National Lands Commission deputy director of communications, Jennifer Wambua in Ngong earlier this year, is likely to walk free again as he has previously done, following the latest findings in the ongoing case.
Mwangi alias Ole Sankale, was arrested as the prime suspect in the death of Jennifer Wambua after she went missing from Ardhi House on March 12, only to be found dead, and her body dumped in Ngong Forest on March 15.
Yesterday, however, following medical examinations that had been ordered to be conducted on the suspect before the case could proceed, it is now emerging, from the results, that Peter Mwangi Njenga has been found not fit to stand trial.
This now throws the case in limbo as the next step by the authorities remains to be seen. Nevertheless, a second examination is expected to be carried out, a couple of weeks from now. If the results of the second test corroborate the results of the first, then Ole Sankale might only be recommended for psychiatric institutionalisation.
Mwangi’s rap sheet runs way back to the nineties. In 1996, Mwangi announced his arrival in the world of imprisonment when he was charged with stealing. After that he appears to have thrown caution to the wind and decided to go on a roll. He was soon arrested again for robbery with violence. Somehow, he managed to get out again, but he was determined to make an indelible mark in the world of crime. He was quickly arrested again twice, in quick succession, and still, for robbery with violence, but this time, throwing in rape for good measure in his despicable list of heinous crimes.
For some strange reason, or perhaps, a devious conspiracy within the system, Sankale kept getting released. However, his goose appeared to be finally cooked, when, in January 15, 2003, he was convicted and sentenced to death at Kibera Senior Resident’s Magistrate Court.
Nevertheless, as it turned out, Mwangi and his co-accused appealed against the ruling and on 17th November 2005, Judges Lessit and Makhandia overturned the ruling by the Kibera Senior Resident’s Magistrate Court, releasing Mwangi. They said that Mwangi’s arrested rested on his identification by a witness, but the witness’s positive identification wasn’t corroborated by anyone or anything else.
