PNU activist Stanley Livondo will be expected to spend a second night in a police cell after being re-arrested in Malindi last evening.

Mr Livondo had been tried and set free on bond in the same town early on Thursday.

He will now be charged in a Mombasa court for failing to appear for a trial in a case where he is accused of stealing a car.

Armed police surrounded the Malindi Law Courts to recapture Livondo, who had been freed on bail after being charged alongside four of his his security men, for causing a fracas at a police station and storming a tourist hotel in Watamu, Malindi.

Livondo will be charged in Mombasa today.

According to police, Livondo and his men were arrested on Wednesday after they stormed the Sun Palm Hotel and tried to throw out employees and security guards. A fracas ensued and alarm was raised. Police subdued the Livondo group and threw them into Watamu police station cells where they spent the night until yesterday morning.

Earlier yesterday, Livondo and his co-suspects refused to give their fingerprints to detectives.
