A court in Nyeri County has allowed the police to detain two suspects linked to the defilement and death of a minor at a children's home in Kieni West so they can complete their investigations.

Lucy Wairimu Mwangi and Stanly Muthii Karemi, who are employees of the children's home, will be held at the Central Police Station for seven days as the police probe the death of a four-year-old girl.
