The Director of Public Prosecution has moved to the Court of Appeal to oppose a ruling by Lady Justice Mugure Thende of Malindi Law Courts to reduce controversial preacher Paul Mackenzie’s murder charges to 12 from the current 191.

Thande, together with two other judges sitting in Malindi Law Courts had ruled that the charges against the controversial pastor be reduced to ensure quick delivery of justice.

At the same time, the High Court has today adjourned the hearing of an application by the DPP to oppose bond being granted to Shakahola massacre prime suspect Paul Mackenzie and 29 other suspects.

This, the DPP has said it will give time for the defence to file their submissions in the case Mackenzie and his co-accused are facing charges of killing 191 people.
