The court has ordered three men to be held at Mumias Police Station for 10 days after they were linked to brutal murder of a 22-year-old man over love dispute.

This is after Police constable Felix Orioki who is investigating the matter told the court a postmortem exercise is yet to be undertaken to establish the actual cause of death.
