The prosecution argued that the suspect, who was placed on red notice, ought to be held at an Industrial Area Prison and not a police station.
The High Court has ordered murder suspect Kevin Kang’ethe to be detained at Industrial Area Remand Prison, pending the hearing of the case where the State is seeking to extradite the suspect to the US.
The suspect is wanted in the United States over the murder of Kenyan nurse Margaret Mbitu.
Kang’ethe’s defence team, led by Antony Kago countered the argument, pointing out that the suspect had not been officially charged with any offence to warrant his detention.
“To detain him at the prison remand is a violation of his rights since he has not been charged with any known offence in law,” Kago stated.
