Kware murders: Three suspects to remain in custody for 7 more days

Collins Jumaisi Khalisha, the prime suspect behind the Kware killings, appears in court on July 16, 2024.

Investigators have been granted seven more days to detain three suspects linked to the Kware killings.

The three suspects are Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, Amos Momanyi, and Moses Ogembo. Jumaisi is the prime suspect in the bizarre killings reported a month ago at a quarry within Nairobi’s Pipeline Estate.

The suspects were presented before Principal Magistrate Irine Gichobi at Makadara Law Courts, where detectives sought the court to allow them to detain the three accused persons for 21 days.

After submissions from both parties, the court ruled that Jumaisi, who is the main suspect, be detained at Gigiri Police Station for seven days.

The other two accused persons, Amos Momanyi and Moses Ogembo, will be detained at Muthaiga Police Station for seven days until August 26 when the matter will be in court for mention.

The investigating officer told the court that they have been able to identify six people from body parts recovered from the quarry, and they are likely to charge the suspects with the murder of the victims after the six files have been perused by the DPP for further guidance.
