Omar Lali, the boyfriend to the late Keroche heiress Tecra Muigai, on Thursday, July 16, broke down in court after the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions applied to terminate court proceedings against him.

Lali was release and set at liberty after the DPP requested for an open inquest.

He was charged following Muigai’s death on Saturday, May 2, after claims that she was pushed to her death.

Muigai was found dead at a private house in Shella, Lamu Island where the couple had been staying together.

Lali had been charged at the Lamu law courts after the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) reviewed toxicological evidence, detailed post mortem reports and phone records.

He was arrested in May and freed on bond pending investigations.

However, on Monday, July 13, Lali was re-arrested after an application by state lawyer Eddie Kadebe that the prosecution had gathered enough evidence.

The evidence included  toxicology, postmortem reports, phone records and other witness statements.
