Former Riruta Ward MCA Samuel Njoroge and two others; his girlfriend Joyce Njambi and one Wilson Mungai, have been found guilty of the murder of Lucy Njambi.
Njambi was kidnapped, raped, and doused in acid in 2018.
Justice Joel Ngugi on Friday said that the evidence provided by the prosecution implicated the trio in the murder most gruesome.
The court found that the former legislator contracted people who abducted Njambi from her home in Thindigua and tortured her.
The court has in the past heard that the deceased who passed away while receiving treatment at the Kenyatta National Hospital, was sexually assaulted and forced to take sulphuric acid.
Njoroge’s accomplices are said to have left Njambi to die in a coffee plantation where a passerby found her.
The court heard that Njoroge and Njambi had been married since 2012 until late 2017 when they separated.
The three had denied the murder charges against them.
