The witness told the court that she was a massage service provider who was linked to Jacktone through her friend whom at the time claimed that she had secured a client for her who wanted massage and sexual services.
“My friend called me on the morning of January 1, 2023 and asked me where I was and I told her that I was at my rented house. She then told me that she had secured a client who wanted a massage and sexual favours.”
Because that was the nature of her job, she obliged to offer the services as her friend had referred other clients to her before and she did not see any problem as long as she paid bills.
The witness narrated how Jacktone Odhiambo arrived in her residence shortly afterwards and they proceeded to a short stay apartment nearby for the services.
“While at the apartment where he had booked a room, Odhiambo asked me to give him a massage which I did and then he asked for sexual favours which I offered.”
