Suspected serial killer Philip Onyancha has been set free by the High Court. Onyancha was set free after the trial presiding judge Justice Jessie Lesit ruled that the police did not provide enough evidence that he had killed Chepngetich Misoi in 2008.
Philip Onyancha had been charged with in 2008 with the murders of two women, Catherine Chelangat and Jackline Chepngetich Misoi.

“All these are disheartening omissions the ones being failure to investigate a stain on the deceased door captured by the crime scene investigator, why would the police not follow this line of investigation?” Justice Lessit ruled.
During the hearing, Onyancha denied that he had murdered Misoi on May 30, 2008, at the Mount Kenya building on Nairobi’s Kombo Munyiri road. He also denied killing Chelagat on November 22, 2008. Onyancha pleaded not guilty to the murders in 2014.

It now remains to be seen if Onyancha will be set free in the other count of murder that he is facing. He had shocked many when admitted that he had killed seventeen women. His case has so far lasted over ten years, putting a dent on the Kenyan judicial system.
