A day after the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) approved charges against six men for the murder of Albert Omondi Ojwang, the case has taken another twist after the accused denied the charges. Appearing at the Kibera High Court on Tuesday, the DPP submitted that Samson Talaam (OCS of the Nairobi Central Police Station), James Mukhwana, Peter Kimani, and the other three suspects jointly murdered Ojwang on the night of June 7 and 8, 2025, at Central Police Station in Nairobi.
However, they both denied the accusations. The DPP, in response to the developments, opposed the release of the accused on bail or bond, citing several compelling reasons.
According to the prosecution, John Gitau, a police officer who is being investigated for a different murder case, was detained at Central Police Station at the time of the incident.
The court also heard that Talaam was the Officer Commanding Station (OCS), James Mukwana was the daytime cell sentry, and Peter Kimani was in charge of the night shift cell sentry. Central Police Station OCS Samson Talaam (centre) at the Kibera High Court on June 24, 2025.
