A woman who was charged with malicious damage to property after a stone she hurled at her boyfriend during a street fight broke a vehicle’s windscreen at a parking got a reprieve after her sister paid the owner of the car.
Winfred Mutheu walked free after Kinyariro Njuguna accepted to withdraw the case.
Njuguna withdrew the case at the Makadara law courts after receiving cash payment of Sh4,000 in the courtroom.
Mutheu had been charged with damaging the vehicle after the stone broke the rear windshield on January 10.
