A court on Thursday allowed the police to detain three suspects linked to a series of robberies in Mombasa for seven days.

This is after the Anti-Terror Police Unit (ATPU) said it was investigating the suspects, Musab Abdulnasir Kassim and Mistwah Abdulnasir Kassim, who were linked to two suspected terrorists arrested in Kwale on New Year's eve.
