A police officer was Monday, April 17 charged tight the murder of two boys in Eastleigh, Nairobi.
The prosecution asked the court to remand him at Industrial Area pending a bail hearing.
The two teenagers- Jamal Mohammed and Mohammed Dhair Kheri- met their death on March 31, 2017, at Amal Plaza in Eastleigh estate, Nairobi.
The judge declined to allow the application by the prosecution to cancel Rashid’s bond, saying she does not see it necessary to do so.
The court released him on a Sh 200,000 cash bail.
Rashid is both popular and unpopular in Eastleigh and Mathare, Nairobi over his modus operandi of addressing various forms of crime.
He had managed to contain crime levels in the area during which some locals complained he applied extra-judicial means.
In one of the incidents, the Independent Policing Oversight Authority concluded the investigation into the death of Jamal Mohamed and Mohamed Dahir Kheri following a shooting that occurred at Eastleigh, Nairobi County on March 31, 2017.
