State House intruder Brian Bera to know fate in two months time

State House intruder Brian Kibet Bera (pictured) will know his fate in two months’ time on whether he will be charged or not.

This is after Milimani Law Courts Chief Magistrate said that the suspect is still unwell and needs medical attention.

When the matter came for mention on Thursday, the court directed Bera to be put under medication for a period of two months.

The suspect who is 25 years old and also a student at JKUAT is said to have had forcefully tried to enter State House in June this year where he was shot by police officers manning the State House as he tried to access it through the fence.

“Bera appears to be unwell and he should be put under mediation for two months,” said Andayi.

The student had earlier told the court that he wanted to save many jobless youths in Kenya.

Last month, he apologised to the President and the court promising not to repeat his actions.

Before his attempt to gain entry into State House, he had earlier posted on his Facebook page of his plans.

Brian found himself on the wrong side of the law on June 10 after attempting to scale a State House wall while brandishing a knife.

Brian however tendered his apology to President Uhuru Kenyatta and the public for his actions.

But State prosecutor Kajuju Kirimi said, “The prosecution has not been able to reach President Kenyatta to register the suspect's desire for his forgiveness.”

He told the court that he was a grown-up and his father should be barred from interfering with his life as he is 25 years.

The young man insisted he did not want to go to a mental facility and does not want to brush shoulders with the police and doctors because he can 'kill them'.

Bera said he wanted the court to forgive him and have him released.

However, the court directed that he still be held at a mental facility, under his father's care.

Bera will be under medication for a period of two months and will appear in court on October 9.
