ICT CAS Dennis Itumbi. [COURTESY]

DPP Withdraws Fake Assassination Letter Case Against Itumbi

ICT CAS Dennis Itumbi can breathe easy after the DPP dropped a case in which he was accused of faking a letter purporting a planned assassination plot against then Deputy President William Ruto.

Milimani chief magistrate Susan Shitubi on Friday allowed the application by the DPP to withdraw the case.

The prosecution termed the case as unconstitutional and cited lack of enough evidence as reason for withdrawal.

Itumbi is said to have on or before June 20, 2019, published a letter dated May 30, 2019, intending to cause anxiety to the general public.
