Fifteen former state agents accused of killing two Indian nationals and a Kenyan taxi driver in July 2022 have been released on bail by a Kiambu court.
Justice Francis Rayola granted each accused Sh1 million bail or Sh3 million bond with a surety of the same amount, saying the prosecution failed to justify their continued detention. "Having considered all the material placed before me and the pre-bail reports, I find that the allegations against the accused do not amount to compelling reasons to deny them admission to bond or bail," said Rayola.
Thirteen of the accused are from the disbanded Special Service Unit (SSU) of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), one from the National Intelligence Service (NIS), and one from the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).
They deny murdering Indians Zulfiqar Khan and Sami Zaid Kidwai and Kenyan driver Nicodemus Mwania.
