The six suspects linked to the murders of at least 7 women in Mawanga, Nakuru County, will be incarcerated for an additional 14 days.
Nakuru Law Courts Principal Magistrate Yvonne Khatambi allowed the prosecution more days to detain the six on grounds that their DNA samples are still being processed.
Moreover, the Magistrate allowed the suspects to be detained so as to leave room for the completion of investigations.
Similarly, this will ensure they do not interfere with evidence and witnesses lined up to testify in the case.
The six suspects are; Evans Michori Kebwaro, Julius Otieno, Josephat Simiyu, Denis Mmbolo, Isaac Kinyanjui and Makokha Wanjala.
