Four more police officers from the disbanded DCI’s Special Services Unit (SSU) were on Wednesday November 30 arrested in connection to the abduction of the two Indians and their Kenyan taxi driver on the night of July 23.
The arrest brings to 12, the total number of officers so far arrested.
Officials said the four will be arraigned at Kahawa Law court on Thursday December 1.
There was drama after attempts to escort eight other officers in custody for DNA extraction failed.
This was after they refused to go for the exercise on advice of their defense lawyers.
The court had previously ordered DNA test to be conducted at DCI labs. It was however established that the facility does not have facilities for the exercise. And when the investigation team went to pick them for the samples at Government Chemists, they refused and said a court must order so.
All the officers at the unit were sent on a 30-day compulsory leave after its disbandment and are expected to report to the DCI headquarters in December for deployment and administrative action.
Already, nine officers from the same unit have been arraigned but the detectives requested for more time to detain them as they complete investigations.
Police plan to charge them with a crime of abduction and conspiracy to commit a felony.
IAU detectives have maintained that the officers are linked to the forceful disappearance of the missing Indians, Mohammed Said Sami and Zulfiqar Ahmed who are claimed to have travelled to Kenya during the electioneering period and were working with a digital media team allied to President William Ruto.
