Four men, including a serving Administration Police officer, arrested in connection with the assassination of Kasipul Member of Parliament Charles Ong'ondo Were, will remain in police custody for the next 30 days pending the conclusion of investigations.
The suspects, William Imoli Shighali, Juma Ali Haikal, Douglas Muchiri Wambugu, and David Mihigo Kagame-were produced before the Chief Magistrate's Court at JKIA yesterday, where the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) successfully applied for their continued detention.
Principal Magistrate Irene Gichobi granted the application, allowing the four to be detained at Ruaraka, Muthaiga, Capitol Hill, and Kilimani police stations, or any other suitable facility, for a period of 30 days.
This development came after autopsy results, conducted by Government Pathologist Johansen Oduor, revealed that the Kasipul MP died from excessive bleeding after being shot five times.
