Published on August 25, 2020, two suspects accused of killing a middle-aged man in Nairobi's Kilimani area have been detained for 12 days to allow further investigations.
Robert Ouko Bodo and Chris Philip Obure were arrested on August 21, 2020, following a shooting incident at the Galana suites in Nairobi's Kilimani area.
