A woman turns dumb in Court after being charged with threatening to kill her friend through sending her threatening and abusive texts via WhatsApp.
Hellen Nyambura Njoki abruptly turned dumb before a Nairobi court pretending to be speechless something which forced the duty Magistrate to confirm with the prosecution whether the suspects might be verbally impaired.
The Prosecutor in response said he thought the woman had opted to exercise her constitutional right to remain silence.
Hellen faced a criminal charge of using his WhatsApp account to threaten Miriam Athmani Yunus telling her that she had notified the DCI that she was going to take law at hand and kill her.
She was also accused of Cyber harassment where the prosecution alleged that on April 13, 2024 the suspect used very abusive words using her WhatsApp account directing the said words to Miriam Athman.
Appearing before Magistrate Gilbert Shikwe, the suspect remained silent as the Court Assistant went to the six criminal charges levelled against her prompting the Court to enter a plea of not guilty to all the charges and released her on Ksh 150,000 cash bail.
