The quartet was remanded in custody for a two-week duration to facilitate inquiries into the killing of the senior detective. Initially, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (ODPP) had sought a 21-day detention period for seven suspects, but the court opted for a 14-day remand.

The accused individuals include DJ Joe Mfalme, Allan Ochieng, Eric Kariuki Gathua, Simon Wambugu Wanjiru, Khadija Abdi Wako, Sammy Cheruiyot Rotich, and Agnes Kerubo Mogoi.

The suspects allegedly assaulted Detective Felix Kelian of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on March 16, 2024, leading to his demise on March 21, 2024. Magistrate Margaret Murage directed DJ Joe Mfalme, Eric Gathua, and Simon Wanjiru to be held at Muthangari police station, while Allan Ochieng was to remain in custody at Kabete police station.

Meanwhile, Khadija Abdi Wako, Sammy Rotich, and Agnes Mogoi, all police officers themselves, were to be detained at Riruta police station.

During the proceedings at the Kibra Law Court, the prosecution argued that releasing the accused could pose a flight risk. They particularly highlighted the potential risk associated with the sixth and seventh respondents, who were stationed at Kikuyu police station.

On the day of the incident, these individuals were reportedly present at the reporting desk and interacted with the deceased detective, who showed signs of injuries and was observed urinating blood in the police station’s restroom.
