Seventeen officers from the disbanded Special Services Unit, National Intelligence Service (NIS) and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) were Thursday charged with the murder of a Kenyan and two Indian nationals two years ago.

The officers who appeared before the High Court in Kiambu were said to have killed Zulfiqar Ahmed Kidwai Khan and Mohammed Zaid Sami, and their taxi driver Nicodemus Mwania Mwange.
