Former State agents linked to the murder of two Indians and a Kenyan in July 2022 have been freed on Sh1 million bail or Sh3 million bond and a surety of a similar amount.

High Court judge Francis Rayola, in his ruling, said the prosecution had not given compelling reasons to deny the 15 men bail. "Having considered all the material placed before me and the pre-bail reports that have been filed for all the accused persons, I do find that the allegations made against the accused persons do not amount to compelling reasons to deny them admission to bond or bail," he ruled.
