On August 25, 2020, a Nairobi court ordered the detention of two suspects in the murder of businessman Kelvin Omwenga for 12 days.
The suspects, Robert Ouko Bodo and Chris Phillip Obure, will be held in custody as detectives complete investigations into the shooting incident.
According to the case investigator, Sergeant Bashir Boya, the suspects' release would have interfered with the investigation exercise.
"The witnesses of the shooting incident are known to Mr Ouko. The results of the post-mortem exercise on the body of the deceased to confirm the cause of death are not yet out," Mr Boya told court.
The investigators will compile evidence, record witness statements, examine the firearm used in the killing, and review surveillance footages of the scene of crime.
They will also take the firearm to the ballistic expert for examination, obtain records of the firearm from the central firearm bureau, and analyze CCTV footage showing movement of the motor vehicle used by Ouko and the victim.
The suspects will be produced in court on September 4 for a mention of the case to update the court on the progress of the investigation.
