NAIROBI, Kenya Aug 20 – A woman accused of fraudulently dealing with property belonging to a deceased estate is set to appear before the Ruiru Law Courts.
Agnes Wairimu Gachanja was arrested by detectives from the Land Fraud Investigations Unit in Ruiru on Wednesday.
The DCI says the arrest followed investigations into a complaint filed by two administrators of their late father’s estate.
The administrators discovered during the succession process that a parcel of land measuring about 0.0825 hectares in Juja Farm had been transferred to an unknown person without their knowledge.
Investigators established that the property was later sold for 800,000 shillings.
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions has approved charges of conspiracy to defraud, uttering false documents and intermeddling with the property of a deceased person.
The DCI says it will continue pursuing individuals suspected of unlawfully transferring or disposing of property belonging to deceased estates.
