The second suspect in the murder of a woman whose boiled bones were found dumped at the Langata Cemetery was Friday produced in court.
Makadara Senior Principal Magistrate Mary Njagi allowed police to detain Jared Mong'are for 21 days.
Police said they were yet to conduct detailed investigations into the incident and hence they needed more time to enable them to complete the same.
Mong'are was arrested in Eldoret and several exhibits among them a blood stained panga believed to be the murder weapon recovered.
Acting on intelligence leads, the detectives said that Mong'are who was smoked from his hideout in Eldoret town, is the person who allegedly handled all payment transactions relating to the client's stay at the Lavington Valley Heights Apartment.
It is alleged he is also the person who drove them to the venue in a Toyota Vitz that has since been recovered at Ngara Civil Servants estate and towed to DCI Headquarters for forensic examination.
Also established is that the room where the prime suspect, Hashim Dagane Muhumed, checked in with the female victim Deka Abdinoor Gorone was being operated as a short stay by a Kilimani-based businesswoman, who subleased the room from the apartment owner paying a monthly rent of Sh55,000.
However, the owner issued a notice of rent increment starting November 2024, forcing the lady to send movers to move out her stuff on November 1, 2024.
This was a day after CCTV cameras captured the prime suspect (Hashim) leaving the room on October 31.
The police summoned the owner identified as Alice Mbinya, who was investigatively interviewed at homicide offices to shed more light on the case in question.
Detectives have also established that the prime suspect was handling the victim's mobile phone or sim card, which he used to call her family members several times.
A forensic trail of his communication took the officers back to Lang'ata Cemetery, where they combed the entire area, discovering a phone stashed in a bag that also contained clothes resembling those seen won by Deka Abdinoor Gorone, his possible victim.
They have been processed and kept as exhibits.
Police have now revealed they will investigate other past murder incidents with Hashim as the prime suspect.
