According to BBC NEWS, the acquittal followed the
withdrawal of the case by the plaintiff who said that she has forgiven Kemboi
and that she was planning to go and pursue studies.
“I want to go back to university to pursue
journalism and I have forgiven Kemboi out of my own free will,” Anne was quotes
as saying by BBC.
However, AFP News Agency had earlier reported that
the other reason that prompted her to drop the case was the fact that she had been
ostracized from the community when it (the community) leant that she had raised
the allegations to their hero.
However, in his own plea, Mr. Kemboi had alleged
that Ms. Njeri has colluded with a gang to rob him at night and had been
stabbed in the fight.
This seems a rather interesting story as both
parties were pointing an accusing finger at one another but finally they
decided to settle the matter out of court which leaves a lot in suspense.
