Five suspects face extradition over murder of Ugandan doctor

The doctor's body was found in an unmarked grave along Isiukhu stream in Kenya's Malava constituency 140 kilometres away from his hometown of Mbale, Uganda.

The High Court in Kakamega has granted an application by the State to postpone the hearing of a murder case of the late Ugandan Dr Gideon Wamasebu, so as to allow the extradition of five suspects from Uganda to Kenya.

The court also granted Sh1 million bond to another suspect Kelvin Shatome, who had been detained at Kakamega Main Prison Remand since February last year.
