On March 22, 2022, Benson Melonyie Ole Mungai, the prime suspect in the murder of four men in Kitengela, Kajiado county, was released on bond by the Kajiado High Court.
According to reports, Ole Mungai appeared before Judge Stellah Mutuku for a ruling to determine bond and was released on a cash bail of Ksh 2 million or one surety of Ksh 1 million.
The four men, Fredrick Mureithi Wanjiru, Victor Mwangi Wanjiru, Mike George Ondusso, and Nicholas Kyengo Musa, were lynched in August last year by a mob, 15 kilometres from Kitengela town at Enkamuriaki village on suspicion of being cattle thieves.
Pre-trial of the case is set to be on June 14, 2022, and the suspect is to appear in court anytime he is summoned.
Meanwhile, the Defense counsel in the murder trial of Migori Governor Okoth Obado and two others has accused the police of not following the proper procedure when gathering and storing evidence collected immediately after discovery of the body of Rongo University student Sharon Otieno.
Elsewhere, Nairobi businessman Abdi Ali Noor was on Tuesday released on a Ksh 2 million bond after denying 3 counts of fraud.
