A Somali national linked to the gruesome murders of four women allegedly abducted from Eastleigh late last year was on Tuesday charged in court.
Hashim Dagane alias Hashim Khalif pleaded to the charges before Justice Kanyi Kimondo in a virtual court session.
He denied murdering Dahabo Daud Said Alias Waris, Amina Dhahir, Musayba Abdi Mohamed and Deka Abdi Noor Gorane.
The offences are said to have been committed between October 21 and October 30, 2024.
According to the charge sheet, Dahabo was murdered on the nights of October 21 and 22 October at the Kyumbi area within Machakos County.
Amina and Abdi, on the other hand, met their deaths still on the same night but within the Parklands area.
On the nights of 29 October and 30 October, the charge sheet states that Deka was murdered at Valley Heights Apartments, Lavington area within Nairobi county.
Hashim who is currently at the Nairobi area remand and Allocation prison sought to be released on bail.
The Prosecution, however, said they will be opposing his release on bail.
They indicated they will be filing an affidavit detailing their reasons.
The court directed the same be done within seven days. The case will be mentioned on February 11 for further directions.
