Through the testimony of 38 prosecution witnesses, Justice Joel Ngugi, who is currently a judge of the court of appeals and was granted permission by the Chief Justice to end the case, stated that the court was satisfied with the evidence presented by the prosecution. 

In his decision, the Judge stated that the prosecution's overwhelming evidence showed the first accused's intense jealousy, which included attacking the dead and expressing hostility against imagined romantic competitors.

The judge determined that marital strife prompted the first accused to commit the crime.
