On December 2, 2019, Inspector Sabina Kerubo, the Ugunja Deputy OCS, was arraigned at the Siaya Law Courts in connection with the brutal murder of Star Newspaper journalist Erick Oloo.
Chief Inspector Kerubo did not take a plea, as the prosecution requested more time to complete investigations into the matter.
Magistrate James Ong'ondo ordered that Inspector Kerubo be held at Siaya Police Station for 14 days.
Five people have been arrested in connection with Oloo's killing, including two brothers, Victor Ogola Luta and Franklin Joel Luta, who were arrested on November 21 and 22, respectively.
Two more suspects, including Inspector Kerubo's daughter and househelp, are yet to be arraigned.
Erick Oloo was laid to rest at Nyasanda village in Ugunja Sub-county on Saturday, November 23, 2019.
