Mombasa court convicts banker Hannington Muthoka for attempted murder after stabbing his ex-lover Elizabeth Shigari Bana three times. The incident occurred in September 2023 in Port Reitz, Changamwe. A trial heard that Bana suffered serious injuries from the knife attack, which penetrated her left lung. Prosecutors presented evidence of Bana's identification of Muthoka as her attacker, and forensic evidence linking her to the knife and other items at the scene.
Muthoka denied the charges, claiming they were still in a relationship and that Bana had stabbed herself. The court rejected his defense and convicted him under Section 215 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The case will be heard again on October 12, 2026.
