DPP drops murder charges against 15 officers in 2022 disappearance case

Director of Public Prosecutions Renson Ingonga has dropped murder charges against 15 elite security officers linked to the 2022 disappearance of two Indian nationals and their Kenyan taxi driver. The DPP filed a nolle prosequi notice at the Kiambu High Court, effectively terminating the murder case against all the accused, most of whom are drawn from the disbanded Special Service Unit of the DCI, citing insufficient evidence. However, the accused are not yet off the hook, as the DPP is expected to pursue other charges related to abduction.
