The prime suspect in the brutal murder of Nairobi Hospital Acting Finance Director Eric Maigo, Anne Adhiambo Akinyi, is not a minor and is ready to stand trial.
An age and mental assessment at Nairobi's Mathari Hospital established that the suspect in the murder is an adult of sound mind, contrary to initial allegations that she may have been a teenager.
