Did Atwoli hire the bewildered chokora to wipe out Muchai and his body guards? I mention elsewhere, that with Kenya, you want to keep an open mind. Because there are people who will tell you that it is in fact what happened. Without batting an eyelid.
If the chokora had no clue why he was in court, I am informed he was conveniently found with the murder weapon. Linked by ballistics experts to the scene, among other artefacts. He carried out the assassination like a seal team operative, fooling CCTV, and covered his tracks like a pig wading in from Nairobi river.
Whether they used their vaunted fingerprint database to track him down Yebei/Yusuf style, is not something they are sharing. It could be that he just left glaring clues everywhere. The gun for example.
Either way it makes the prosecution's job very easy. To be found with the murder weapon.
There are those who believe that if we remain focused on the chokora and Atwoli, it leaves less room to focus on who really killed Muchai and why. Because if you think the chokora is a scapegoat. You are supposed to think he is a scapegoat for Atwoli.
To be fair to Atwoli, he looks genuinely bewildered by the allegations.
