Republic v Okeyo; Joy Millers Limited (Interested Party) [2024] KEHC 6039 (KLR)
The High Court found that the trial court's decision to transfer the case to Kisumu was based on the charge sheet, which indicated the offence occurred in Nyamasaria, Kisumu County.

The charge sheet indicated the offence occurred at an unknown place and the alleged offences were committed via digital platforms, making the location of commission ambiguous. Under Section 71 of the Criminal Procedure Code, the appropriate venue for trial includes the place of apprehension.
