Nairobi Central Police Station Officer Commanding Station (OCS) Samson Talaam has been detained for 15 days to allow police to complete their investigations into blogger Albert Ojwang's case.
Talaam was arrested on June 13 in Eldoret over the murder of Ojwang, who was found dead while in police custody.
Talaam was named as the prime suspect after multiple witnesses implicated him during the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) investigations.
Magistrate Benmark Ekhubi, during the trial ruling on Wednesday, June 18, said that the prosecution had presented compelling reasons to warrant the denial of bail.
