US court denies bail to Kenyan murder suspect Kevin Kang’ethe

A U.S. court has denied bail to Kenyan national Kevin Kang’ethe, who is facing charges of murdering his girlfriend, Margaret Mbitu, in Boston, Massachusetts. The Suffolk Superior Court in Pemberton Square ruled on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, that Kang’ethe be held without bail, citing the seriousness of the charges and the circumstances of his previous escape from custody.

Kang’ethe, who pleaded not guilty to the murder, was extradited to the United States from Nairobi on September 1, 2024, after a successful extradition process led by Kenya’s Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Renson M. Ingonga. The extradition followed his arrest in Nairobi, where he had been hiding after fleeing from Muthaiga Police Station in February 2024. Kang’ethe’s escape occurred shortly after his initial arrest in January 2024, leading to a widespread manhunt that culminated in his re-arrest in Ngong, Nairobi, on February 13, 2024.

The court heard that the relationship between Kang’ethe and the deceased was reportedly marred by incidents of domestic violence, which prosecutors believe may have contributed to the tragic outcome. The prosecution argued that Kang’ethe posed a flight risk, given his history of evading law enforcement, and successfully convinced the court to deny him bail.

The case has garnered significant attention both in Kenya and the U.S., highlighting the complexities of cross-border criminal investigations and extraditions. The decision to deny bail underscores the U.S. judicial system’s commitment to ensuring that justice is served, particularly in cases involving serious crimes such as murder.

If convicted, Kang’ethe faces a lengthy prison sentence, reflecting the gravity of the charges against him.
