The businessman had initially been charged with attempting to kill Kavuthi, constable Lawrence Muturi and a waitress Felistus Nzisa. Constable Kavuthi, however, died at Nairobi Hospital where he had been admitted, prompting the change of charges.

 On August 5, 2021 the court was informed that the charges facing the accused were serious and that some witnesses feared for their lives.
