Wanjiru & another v Republic [2023] KEHC 23291 (KLR)
The High Court found that the prosecution failed to prove the offences of forgery and uttering a false document beyond reasonable doubt.

The Court found no error of law in the High Court's…

The High Court found that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt the essential elements of forgery, uttering a false document, and giving false information to a public officer. The evidence did not establish that the appellant forged the land sale agreement, as there was no proof he falsified the seller's signature or that the seller was not the person who offered to sell the land.
