Former PS objects production of P3 form in wife’s a*****t case

Former Devolution Principal Secretary Julius Korir (pictured) yesterday objected to the production of a P3 form showing the injuries sustained by his estranged wife Everline Koech.

Through his lawyer Nicholas Ombija, Korir stated that the form has no date and does not show who certified the document.

While testifying, Dr Kamau Mariga, who was producing the document on behalf of a Dr. Maundu who is now deceased told the court that the injuries sustained by Koech were as a result of assault.

He said that according to the report, the injuries were a day old and Koech had been attended to at Nairobi Hospital. 

“Tender and swollen upper arm and tender and swollen index finger on the right, on lower limbs, there was tenderness and bruises,” he said.

Another witness, Dr Stephanie Wakaba testified that in 2020 while carrying out her duties at Nairobi Hospital, she received a patient by the name Koech.

Physical examination

The court was told that Koech appeared to be sick because she had bruises and linear marks on her back, butt and a tear on her arm.

“She came in with a history of physical assault, I attended to her and did a physical examination.  She appeared to be sick, in pain and had bruises,” the court was told.

Wakaba was testifying in a case in which Korir is charged with assaulting Koech while pregnant in 2020.

Wakaba further told the court that she took images of the patient who requested to have them taken.

The case was adjourned until June 27, 2023.
