Suspect linked to murder of three Eastleigh women detained for 9 days
A suspect linked to the killing of three women from Eastleigh, Nairobi, was Monday presented before a court.
He appeared before Makadara Law Courts, where a magistrate allowed police to detain him for nine days pending a police probe.
Police said they are still hunting for the main suspect in the murder of Amina Abdirashid, her aunt, Waris Dahabo Daud, and her niece, Nusayba Abdi Mohammed, from Eastleigh in Nairobi.
Police did not allow journalists into the courtroom, arguing they had not conducted an identification parade on the suspect, which is key in a murder probe.
The court ruled it was important for investigators to finalise the probe and establish if the man was linked to the same.
The husband to Waris recorded his statement with the police on Monday. A man wanted for the murder had called the family of the victims to demand a ransom for their release.
