The prosecution also preferred joint charges of conspiracy to stupefy with the intention to steal to the two women.

Britney faced additional charges after she was found with seven one-milligram tablets of Rohypnol and Omondi’s phone and ATM card worth KSh 23,000.

She faced electronic fraud, stealing and handling stolen property in contravention to the penal code.

She denied the charges and was granted KSh 1 million bond with an alternative KSh 300,000 cash bail.
