Investigators have been granted an additional seven days to detain three suspects connected to the Kware killings. 

The suspects, Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, Amos Momanyi, and Moses Ogembo, were presented before Principal Magistrate Irine Gichobi at Makadara Law Courts, with Jumaisi being the prime suspect in the grisly murders reported a month ago at a quarry in Nairobi’s Pipeline Estate.
