Two policemen implicated in the killing of a British aristocrat were yesterday detained as a judge issued a warrant of arrest for a third one.
A fourth officer was released on bond after he produced a document from Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) indicating he was unwell.
“I will not give my ruling on bond today (yesterday) and Naftali Chege and Ismail Barak will be remanded at Shimo la Tewa pending my ruling on their application on July 19," Justice Erick Ogola said.
"For Charles Munyiri, I will free him on his free bond due to his health, as has been demonstrated in the letter from KNH,” he added. The suspects have denied having a hand in the death of British aristocrat Alexander Monson in Diani six years ago.
“But for [John] Pamba he will be charged separately because his case is consolidated with this one, where the suspects have taken plea and denied the charge,” Justice Ogola said, adding that the warrant of arrest he issued yesterday remained active.
