The batterer has not been locked in police custody thanks to a yesterday court ruling by resident magistrate Miriam Peter Mugure.

The magistrate said the application to lock the wife batterer for three days lacked merit since the complainant had not formally recorded a statement and filled a P3 form.

Prosecution also failed to convince the court why Mr. Wambugu posed a threat to the security of the complainant or witnesses in the case to warrant his further detention in custody.
