The High Court has rejected an application by the prosecution seeking to withdraw the bond of four former police officers charged with the death of Alexander Monsoon, a Briton.

Justice Erick Ogola yesterday dismissed a claim by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions that the ex-officers were likely to interfere with the case after observing that all the prosecution witnesses had testified.
