Meru Senator Muthika Linturi’s attempted rape case’s chief investigator has stated that his office is looking into reports that nude images and recordings of the incident were erased.
The naked video and photographs were supposed to be used as proof.
Linturi has been charged with attempted rape after allegedly breaking into the victim’s hotel room and attempting to violate her while her husband was away.
According to a recent declaration submitted in court, police officer Keith Robert believes the legislator was involved in the removal of the nude images.
To recover the deleted data, Robert told the court that forensic examination and reconstruction of the mobile phones was being carried out.
He has, however, included two films that were captured at the crime scene.
He goes on to add that the inquiry into the victim’s accusation was done objectively, conclusively, and in the best interests of justice.
Because the police have failed to deliver papers in their possession, he has requested the court to dismiss Linturi’s application to dismiss the attempted rape case.
He claims that dismissing the lawsuit will not provide the victim with the justice she needs.
Linturi also demanded that the state produce an abstract from the Nanyuki police station, as well as naked images and films taken of him at Maiyan villas on that day by the victim and her husband.
