Multimedia University student Erick Mutinda was charged with the murder of his college mate, Sylvia Kemunto. He pleaded not guilty after undergoing a mental assessment.

• Mutinda was found fit to stand trial after a mental assessment.
• The court declined to review Mutinda’s cash bail terms; lawyers Danstan Omari and Shadrach Wambui, representing the victim's family, opposed his release.
• The hearing is scheduled for January 26 next year, with four witnesses expected to testify out of at least 17 expected witnesses.
