Rhoda Mumbua, the wife of controversial Malindi preacher Paul Mackenzie has been freed on a Ksh. 100,000 bond by Shanzu law court in Mombasa.
In a hearing on Monday, Justice Yusuf Shikanda said that the evidence and investigations presented in court do not directly link Rhoda to any offence.
Additionally, the prosecution had not made submissions on any case against Rhoda, or why she should continue being detained in relation to Shakahola deaths.
Rhoda was arrested on May 2, and has been in police custody alongside her husband Mackenzie, and other suspects linked to the Shakahola cult.
During the Monday hearing, court granted prosecution 60 days to detain Mackenzie and his co-accused, pending further investigation.
