Three terror suspects, who were previously linked with an attack on police officers, have been denied bond by the court.
In a ruling delivered on Monday, April 21, Principal Magistrate Gideon Kiage concurred with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution, which was strongly against the release of the suspects, believed to be part of the Al Shabaab terror group. "This is a serious matter which the defence does not deny.
Given the nature of the attack and the gravity of the charges, the court finds the prosecution's concerns valid and grounded in precedent," stated Magistrate Kiage.
The three suspects had previously been charged with conspiracy to commit a terrorist act and were linked with Al Shabaab, which was outlawed in Kenya under Gazette Notice No. 2326 of April 7, 2015.
