Nine police officers accused of killing two Indians and their taxi driver will be detained for three more days.
This is after the prosecution asked the Kahawa Law Courts Chief Magistrate to allow them time to respond to affidavits filed in court on Monday.
The prosecution wants the nine kept behind bars for 30 days as investigations into their alleged role in the killings continues.
The officers are Peter Muthee Gachiku, Francis Muendo Ndonye, John Mwangi Kamau, Joseph Kamau Mbugua, John Mwendwa Mbaya, David Chepcheng Kipsoi, Stephen Luseno Matunda, Paul Njogu Muriithi, and Simon Gikonyo — formerly attached to the now-disbanded Special Service Unit.
They are accused of killing two Indians — Mohammed Said Sami and Zulfiqar Ahmed, and their local taxi driver, Nicodemus Mwania. The two, who went missing in July, were in Kenya to join President Ruto’s campaign team as IT experts.
Dennis Itumbi, a close ally of President Ruto, recently said they contributed immensely to the success of Dr Ruto’s campaign. BY DAILY NATION
