A 40-year-old woman has found herself on the wrong side of the law for allegedly putting drugs in a man’s drinks at a club before stealing.
Margaret Makena, according to court documents, laced the drinks of a fellow patron (name withheld) with stillno tabs, a stupefying drug, on July 1 at a resort in Njiru Sub-county.
Margaret is also said to have stolen Sh560,000 from the complainant on the same night after he lost consciousness due to drugging.
On the material day, the complainant went to the resort to grab some few drinks when he found it full to the capacity since there was Mugithi night.
He sat a table where he was joined by a lady and later two men. They all had fun untill when the complainant paid his bills at around 5:30 when the complainant lost counciousness untill the following day when he gained his sense at a bush past Thika town at around 3pm having only his inner garment.
His shirt, trousers, socks and shoes had been scattered 800 meters away from where he had been dumped. His mobile phone and an empty wallet were placed near him. Previously, the wallet had Sh 120,000 in cash but was at the same time missing.
He collected his clothes and put them. He sent his wife the location to pick him up after narrating to her what happened to him. He later reported the matter to authorities.
This year, on April 4, the complainant spotted Makena at Jam Rescue, and he tipped the police, who went to arrest her. Makena was later presented before the principal magistrate Renee Kitagwa, where she denied the accusations.
She was granted a bond of Sh 200,000 and an alternative cash bail of Sh 100,000. The matter shall be heard on July 9.
