Milimani High Court Justice Kanyi Kimondo convicted Erick Munyera Isabwa, Raphael Kimani Gacii, Mustafa Kimani Anyonyi and Stephen Asitiva Lipapo on four counts of murder after finding that the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.

The four are already serving death sentences at Kamiti Maximum Prison for robbery with violence.

The court heard that Muchai, his bodyguards PC Samuel Kimathi Kailikia and PC Samuel Lekakeny Matanta, and driver PC Stephen Ituu Wambugu were killed in the early hours of February 7, 2015, along Kenyatta Avenue in Nairobi.

The prosecution called 37 witnesses, including newspaper vendor Ronald Nyangaresi, who told the court that Muchai, a regular customer for 10 years, stopped to buy newspapers at about 3:40am.
