Mr Cholmondeley was on May 14 sentenced to eight months in prison, after a three-year trial during which he spent time at the prison.
Mr Njoya’s widow, Sarah Waithera, expressed shock on receiving news that the man who caused the death of her husband had been released.
Speaking at the Nakuru Wholesale Market where she sells groceries, Ms Njoya said she thought Mr Cholmondeley would serve his full sentence.
Commissioner of Prisons Isaiah Osugo told the Saturday Nation that Mr Cholmondeley “has served his term, his conviction is scheduled to end today (Friday)”.
His release threw journalists into confusion in their attempts to look for the Naivasha rancher. Security guards manning the Lord Delamere property in Naivasha were on high alert.
Visitors were restricted from accessing the ranch by being subjected to thorough scrutiny. The guards consulted security manager Jeff Mitto to enquire whether the visitors should be allowed into the farm.

Did they let Njenga out so that he could shut up secondly i think that the ICC should talk to Maina. Even though you have given your life to Christ you must pay for the consequences of what you did in your old life.

I’m not a fan of Maina Njenga or Mungiki. There was malice in dragging to court on murder charges. After police were unable or were lazy to find real killers in Kirinyaga, they picked on Njenga as a scapegoat. How did he murder while in jail in Naivasha? Maj Gen was quick to issue a statement linking Njenga to the murders and media went berserk with the “news” without analysing facts. Journalists are not mouth-piece of cops and shud use their judgment and not take every police word as gospel truth. Njenga shud sue media to make you behave professionally
