Suspects who were arrested on New Year's eve over claims that they were members of the outlawed Mungiki sect have been released by the Murang'a Magistrates Court.

This is after the Office of the Directorate of Public Prosecution (ODPP) informed Senior Principal Magistrate Edwin Nyaga that there was no evidence to prosecute the 25 suspects.
