The Law Society of Kenya and the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) are deeply concerned<\/p>\n\n\n\n
by the recent events surrounding the investigations into the deadly blast that occurred in the Karebe<\/p>\n\n\n\n
on January 23, 2023. As a result of the blast, three (3) people Geofrey Onyango, Julius Kipchumba<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and Geofrey Rotich lost their lives, and six (6) others were seriously injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the occurrence of the blast ten (10) suspects were arrested and arraigned before the Chief Magistrate’s Court at Kapsabet vide miscellaneous custody application nomE013\/20230 on February 7,2023 and the court granted the investigating officer 14 days to hold the suspects in custody pending further investigation into deadly blast<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, due to the nature and magnitude of the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
investigation, it was taken up by Investigators from the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Headquarters who completed their investigations and made a recommendation of a charge of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
murder against the suspects. A duplicate file was also forwarded to the Office of the Directorate of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Public Prosecution (ODPP) Nairobi for perusal, directions, and further action in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The prosecution’s intent to withdraw the case, citing areas that have not been covered, has left the families of the deceased and public at large with some several questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
