Court allows more witnesses in Rex Masai inquest

A Nairobi court has allowed the National Police Service (NPS) to call additional witnesses in the Rex Masai death inquest. Principal Magistrate Geoffrey Onsaringo ruled that the witnesses' evidence may be crucial in establishing the circumstances surrounding Rex Masai's death. However, he declined an application to recall one witness for a third time. The magistrate said the court must balance the search for the truth with the need to conclude the proceedings without unnecessary delay. Willy Lusige reports.
