What is Double Jeopardy in Ngetich Case about?

In the case of Nicholas Kipsigei Ngetich & 6 others v Republic, the High Court acquitted the six accused of murder but they were later charged with attempted murder for the same incident. The accused argued that their continued trial constituted double jeopardy, as the same evidence and witnesses were involved. The court ruled that attempted murder and murder are distinct offenses, thus allowing the lower court trial to proceed without infringing on the principle of double jeopardy.
