Family seeks fresh mental test for KDF officer accused of killing wife

A family is pushing for a new mental evaluation for a Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) officer accused of murdering his wife. The officer, Edwin Muthomi, was previously declared unfit to stand trial by the court during his arraignment. The family's request stems from concerns about the initial assessment and the desire for a thorough legal process.

This situation raises questions about the legal standards for mental fitness to stand trial and the pursuit of justice for victims and their families.
