Maxine Wahome to spend more days in remand

Maxine Wahome, the prime suspect in the murder of her deceased boyfriend Asad Khan, will spend more days at Langata Women's Prison following a ruling by the High Court.

On Tuesday, the court ruled that Wahome will remain in prison custody until it receives a pre-bail report before it can set a date to determine her bail application.

During the bail application hearing at the Milimani Court, Maxine, through her lawyer Philip Murgor said she was in an abusive relationship with her late boyfriend Asad Khan.

"When the incident (murder) occurred she was going to pack her bags to leave the Khan's house," the lawyer said as quoted on Nation Sports.

However, the DPP said Maxine has not provided any evidence showing that her three-year relationship with Asad had problems.

"I urge this court to dismiss as hot air that her relationship with Asad was rocky," the state prosecutor stated.

Khan died at the Avenue Hospital in Nairobi where he had been admitted following a fatal assault that caused him to allegedly bleed to death.
