In a dramatic courtroom scene, Violet Ndukwe, a househelp from Kawangware, confessed to stealing a gold ring valued at KSh 683,700 from her employer in Runda.
Appearing before Magistrate Rose Ndombi at Milimani Law Court, Ndukwe broke down in tears as she revealed that her father’s severe health issues drove her to sell the precious item for a mere KSh 4,000.
“I am asking the court and my employer for mercy and forgiveness,” Ndukwe sobbed. “I took the ring and sold it because my father urgently needed medical care.”

The court heard that Ndukwe, who had been employed by Australian nurse Norah Michelle, discovered the ring while cleaning and decided to steal it.
She then sold it to Francis Mwema, a shopkeeper from Kawangware, whom she was introduced to by a friend.
Ndukwe’s co-accused, Mwema, pleaded not guilty and requested bail, arguing that he was not a flight risk.
The court granted Mwema a KSh 500,000 cash bail and ordered a sentencing report to be prepared.
The case continues to unfold as both defendants await further legal proceedings.
