The sentencing date of the fiancé of Ms Irene Gakwa, a Kenyan woman who went missing in the USA, has been scheduled for June 14.
Mr Nathan Hightman, 39, already pleaded guilty to three felony charges on March 28 and was jailed, pending sentencing by Campbell County District Court Judge James Michael Causey.
The suspect pleaded guilty to illegally accessing Ms Gakwa’s bank account and withdrawing more than Sh340,000, as well as deleting her Gmail account.
“As a result of his plea, Hightman’s Sh1,000,000 cash bond was revoked. He is currently being housed in the general population at the Campbell County Detention Center, according to Matthew Centner, the jail’s administrative assistant,” USA based Wyoming Truth reported on April 6.
Ms Gakwa disappeared in February 2022. Her family reported her missing on March 20, 2022.
