Woman in court for drugging then robbing man

A 40-year-old woman has found herself on the wrong side of the law for allegedly putting drugs in a man's drinks at a club before stealing. 

Margaret Makena, according to court documents, laced the drinks of a fellow patron (name witheld)  with stillno tabs, a stupefying drug, on July 1 at a resort in Njiru Sub-county. 

Margaret is also said to have stolen Sh560,000 from the complainant on the same night after he lost consciousness due to drugging. 

On the material day, the complainant went to the resort to grab a few drinks when he found it full to capacity since there was a Mugithi night. 

He sat at a table where he was joined by a lady and later two men. They all had fun untill the complainant paid his bills at around 5:30 pm when the complainant lost consciousness until the following day, when he regained consciousness at a bush past Thika town at around 3 pm having only his inner garment. 

His shirt, trouser, socks and shoes had been scattered 800 meters away from where he had been dumped. His mobile phone and an empty wallet was placed near him. Previously, the wallet had Sh 120,000 in cash but was at the same time missing. 

He collected his clothes and wore them. He sent his wife the location to pick him up after narrating to her what had happened to him. He later reported the matter to authorities.  

This year, on April 4, the complainant spotted Makena at Jam Rescue and tipped the police, who arrested her. Makena was later presented before the principal magistrate  Renee Kitagwa where she denied the accusations.  

She was granted a bond of Sh 200,000 and an alternative cash bail of Sh 100,000. The matter shall be heard on July 9.
