NAKURU, Kenya, Nov 13 – The girlfriend of slain Kenya Rugby 15s player Mike Okombe has been charged with his murder.

Maryanne Mumbi was charged alongside rugby player Calvin Okoth with his murder which occurred on November 4 after he was reportedly stabbed in the chest.

The two however, did not take a plea because the resident Judge Justice Maureen Odero was absent.

Two other rugby players, Eric Mochache and Vincent Omondi were released after police investigations.

The case will be mentioned on Tuesday.

The Kenya Rugby 15s player and Kabras Sugar RFC was declared dead on arrival at Valley Hospital in Nakuru where he was rushed by fellow rugby player Otieno.

Reports indicate the group were at Otieno’s house at Nakuru’s London Estate when the incident occurred at about 7pm.

Okombe’s friend who sought anonymity said there was a small disagreement between him and his girlfriend during which she dashed to the kitchen came back with a knife and stabbed him in the chest.

The two had a child together but were not married.
