The case came for mention on Thursday before Kikuyu Senior Principal Magistrate Daniel Musyoka and defense indicated to the court that parties had reconciled and wanted to withdraw the matter.
Prosecutor objected to the application to withdraw requesting the matter to be mentioned after two weeks so that she could get directions from the DPP and DCIO Kikuyu but the court over ruled quoting several sections of the constitution in respect to reconciliation and rights of a child as per the children act.
The learned magistrate said all the six accused are persons protected by the children act and allowed the withdrawal of the criminal case against the students under section 204 of CPC.
