Kibera Law Courts Senior Principal Magistrate Temu directed the suspects to appear before the court on Wednesday morning to complete the plea taking process.
“The suspects were initially scheduled to take their plea today but missed the court appearance, prompting the court to reschedule the hearing for tomorrow,” said the ODPP
The four are facing manslaughter charges following the death of Lucy Wambui which occurred after a botched operation at the clinic on October 6th, 2024.
Her death caused a public uproar as the government stepped in to audit the premise only to discover that it was beauty spa and was not authorized to operate as a clinic.
An autopsy conducted on Lucy Wambui revealed that she succumbed to complications caused by the aftermath of the surgery.
