Murder suspect Emmanuel Githua detained for 21 days

Investigators have been granted 21 days to hold Emmanuel Githua Kiburi, a suspect in the murder of Kennedy Kibet Ng'eno. The Makadara Law Court granted the custody order after the prosecution cited pending witness statements, forensic sampling at the Government Chemist, and a post-mortem that is yet to be conducted. They also warned that the respondent could interfere with witnesses and noted public hostility against him. Githua will spend 21 days in custody at Industrial Area Police Station as investigations continue.
