Probation report proposes release of rally driver Maxine Wahome

According to the report, Wahome is of youthful age and a sportsperson representing the country locally, regionally and internationally, and cannot be a flight risk.

The report added that she acknowledges the seriousness of the offence and the attendant sentence if found guilty and that she will attend the trial to its logical conclusion and abide by any additional court orders if released.

Abima said although the victims' family is opposed to her release on bail, they have not received any threats so far from the accused or her proxies.

Wahome, who is the reigning national junior rally champion was charged with the murder of Khan on December 12, 2022, at Preston Court in Kilimani, Nairobi.

The prosecution and Khan's family opposed her application to be released on bail, saying she did not take care of the deceased after the injury that led to his death, refused to visit him in hospital or attend his funeral.

They also said Wahome is likely to interfere with witnesses and the victims who are still aggrieved by the loss of their loved one.

Justice Mutende will make a ruling on the bail application on Wednesday, March 29.
