The Milimani High Court has rejected the bail application of murder suspect Kevin Kang’ethe until an extradition hearing is conducted by the same court. This decision follows the opposition raised by the prosecution team, led by Vincent Monda and Magdaline Nduati, who highlighted concerns about Kang’ethe being a flight risk.
They pointed to his swift departure from the United States after the alleged offense, triggering an Interpol red alert and a warrant for his arrest issued by a US court.
Similarly, Onyina dismissed Kang’ethe’s request to be held at a medium-security facility and instead directed that he be remanded at a maximum-security facility, citing apprehensions about his potential to flee. The matter has been scheduled for hearing on April 29, 2024.
