Three men suspected of killing Kasipul MP Charles Ongondo Were were Wednesday denied bail by a court.
The three William Imoli Shigali alias Imo, Edwin Oduor Odhiambo alias Machuani and Ebel Ochieng alias Dave Calo will be detained at Nairobi Remand Prisons pending mental assessment.
High court judge, Lady Justice Diana Kavedza while detaining the trio ordered Lake Basin Director Ebel Ochieng to be isolated while in detention pending a psychiatric evaluation report to be submitted by June 17.
This is after a court orderly, corporal Damien Mulongo told the court that the director had issued a chilling threat against prosecution counsel Allen Mulama.
According to Corporal Mulongo, Ebel Ochieng while sitting at the dock, whispered a threatening remark “Huyu tutamuuua” (We will kill him) prosecutor Mulama who had opposed bail application by the suspect.
Mulongo told Lady Justice Kavedza that Ochieng appeared agitated and inquired about the identity of the prosecutor.
