Ogweno stated that the three committed  and abetted the offense, making them equally guilty.

The Magistrate also noted that the main suspect, Alex Ochogo, confessed to his mother before they assisted in concealing the act.

Junior Sagini was found with his eyes gouged after  disappearing  overnight.

The accused persons were arrested and initially charged with attempted murder charge  but it was later changed to causing actual bodily harm.

Throughout the entire proceedings of the case, the accused individuals denied both offenses and have been in remand.
