Three men suspected to have robbed a man in broad Daylight in Kilimani will be detained until next week after they denied the charges.
Appearing before Senior Magistrate Zainab Abdul, the men, identified as Humphrey Minyata, Jahan Timothy and Ibrahim Hussein’s bail ruling will be determined next week.
They were represented by Lawyer Katunga Mbuvi with the prosecution arguing that should they be released they would interfere with evidence since their images were circulated all over the internet.
The three were suspected to be connected with a robbery incident captured on Camera along Lenana Road on June 25, 2020. Ideally, the items reported to have been stolen were valued at Sh396,733.
