A 32-year-old woman has been released on a sh50, 000 surety bond after she denied charges of stealing a gas cylinder in a Kilifi court.
Stella Mosy appeared before resident magistrate Sifuna Daniel Sitati and was accused that on January23, 2021 at Mtaani estate within Kilifi town, she entered into her neighbor’s house and stole the gas cylinder from Calvin Omondi.
The court was told that on the fateful day, the complainant had not gone too far from his house when he saw the accused escaping with the gas cylinder.
“I had walked for less than 20 metres when I saw the accused moving away with my cylinder prompting me to raise alarm and residents came to my help and caught up with the accused and took her to nearby police station,” he said.
The accused, who appeared in court Tuesday was given an alternative cash bail of Sh10, 000.
The case was fixed for hearing for March 17, 2021 after a mention on February 17, 2021.
