Rally driver Maxine Wahome is set to be charged with the murder of her late ex-lover and fellow rally driver Assad Khan.
On Tuesday morning, the prosecution informed Magistrate Bernard Ochoi of the new development during the mention of Wahome’s case.
According to the prosecution, Maxin will be arraigned in court on Wednesday to answer murder charges.
At the same time, the DPP has asked the court to detain the suspect at Kilimani police station for mental evaluation prior to filing the plea.
Maxine was arrested and detained at Kilimani Police Station on December 12 after Adil Khan, Asad’s younger brother, reported an alleged assault.
The court released her on a Ksh.100,000 cash bail after spending two nights in custody.
The court was told that when police officers visited the scene, they found blood and household goods littered on the floor and staircase.
“On further examination, one of the window pane glasses was broken, as well as two-door window pane glasses that were also broken,” read the court document.
