A man accused of attempting to kill his nephew in an inheritance row has been released by a Nakuru court on a bond of Sh300,000 with an alternative cash bail of Sh100,000.

While releasing 55-year-old John Kirika, Chief Magistrate Bildad Ochieng noted that there were no compelling reasons for the police to continue detaining the suspect who had been locked up at Elementaita Police Station.
