Omar Lali, 54, boyfriend of Keroche heiress Tecra Muigai.
The late Keroche breweries heiress Tecra Muigai’s Lamu boyfriend has been charged with felony of murder in her death.
Lamu law courts principal magistrate Allan Temba made the ruling via a video link on Monday.
Omar Lali,54, was charged after the DPP reviewed toxicological evidence, detailed post mortem reports, phone records, other documentary exhibits and witnesses' statements.
Lead prosecutor Eddie Kadebe and his colleague Zakaria Kiongo said they were satisfied that there is sufficient evidence to have Lali take plea for the murder.
Tecra, the daughter of Keroche Breweries CEO Tabitha Karanja, died in May in an accident.
She suffered cerebral-oedema resulting from a fall from a staircase at a house she shared with Lali in Lamu on April 27.
Tecra's family lawyers led by James Orengo expressed satisfaction with the decision saying justice was being served.
Orengo asked that Lali be arraigned before the judge for plea.
But Lali’s advocate Yusuf Aboubakar said that while he could not contest the decision to charge his client, he will prove his client's innocence.
Making the ruling, magistrate Temba gave Homicide detectives 24 hours to present Lali to the High Court in Garsen to have him take the murder plea.
“I allowed the decision by the DPP to be taken to the next stage for murder plea taking...If unable to present him within 24 hours, then he should be given Police Bond,” Temba said.
Lali was released on May 27 by the same court on a Sh.300, 000 bond and two sureties provided by his mother and brother-in-law.
Until her death on May 2 this year, Tecra was the Strategy and Innovations Director at Keroche Breweries.
She succumbed at a Nairobi hospital after sustaining injuries after apparently falling from a flight of stairs in a house she shared with Lali on April 27 this year.
An autopsy conducted by chief government pathologist Johansen Oduor a month ago revealed that Tecra died as a result of trauma to the left side of her face after consistent with a fall.
She was laid to rest at her family home on Naivasha on May 16.
