Edward Ndichu, Paul Ndichu expected to be arraigned on Thursday.
The Ndichu brothers accused of assaulting two sisters are on Thursday expected to be charged with assault and malicious property damage.
This followed a directive by the Office of Directorate of Public Prosecution that the twins Edward Ndichu and Paul Ndichu be charged with the offences.
This is after the two sisters Stephanie, 24, and Cheryl Murgor, 22, accused them of the incident that took place on October 17 at the Emara Ole Sereni Hotel.
“They are out on bond but the lawyer has been informed to present them in court for plea taking of assault and malicious property damage,” said one of the officers aware of the matter.
Their lawyer Edwin Sifuna did not respond to our calls.
The two were questioned and recorded statements under inquiry before the file was sent to the ODPP with charge recommendations.
The two sisters recorded further statements and narrated their ordeal on the day to the police.
They were then in the company of their lawyer who is also their uncle Philip Murgor and George Ouma when they appeared before Langata DCI offices for further statements.
The officers also recorded a statement from a witness in the case who was also assaulted in the drama and issued him with a P3.
They also obtained official records of the M-Pesa transaction between the Ndichu brothers and Samuel whose car was damaged.
The team also inspected the car that was damaged during the drama at the hotel, which was photographed by the Scenes of Crime Personnel.
Police officers who attended the scene also recorded their statements.
They also obtained CCTV footage of the drama.
Paul and Eddie have since said that they do not condone or support violence against women and that on the night of the incident, they did not assault any woman as widely claimed.
They made a report at Akila police station and were issued with P3 forms for injuries including a bite injury on Cheryl and tenderness on the neck of Stephanie.
The brothers later lost the support of one of the investors in their company Wapi Pay.
They also resigned from the company following the drama.
The investors Kepple Africa Venture revealed they will withdraw their funding from the tech firm after its co-founders, the Ndichu brothers, were accused of assaulting women.
In a reaction, the Chinese investor revealed that they will cut ties with the company owned by the two brothers.
