Nakuru court grants protection orders to family of woman allegedly killed by KDF officer

The court ordered Kaunga to cease issuing threats, harassment, and intimidation against the deceased's relatives. These orders followed a case filed by the family and former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko, who is named as an interested party in the proceedings. The family claims Kaunga has continued to terrorize them from custody through phone calls, with the caller identifying himself as Edwin and threatening to target the child left behind.

Nakuru Senior Principal Magistrate Adet Vincent Okello barred Kaunga, either directly or through proxies, from harassing or threatening the family of the late Ann Mugweru. The Officer Commanding Station OCS at Nakuru Police Station has been directed to ensure compliance and enforcement of these interim orders. The application will be heard on July 7, 2026.

The murder case, which involved the alleged stabbing of Anita Mugweru during a domestic dispute, garnered public attention in April, with former Governor Sonko stepping in to support the victim's five-year-old daughter.
