State to press murder charges against DJ Joe Mfalme over officer's killing

Mutune told the magistrate that investigators need 21 days to detain the seven since the probe was complex.

The lead investigator, Fredrick Kosen, told the court that the Kelian's death was reported by his brother Reinhard Kintosi.

Kelian was involved in an accident while driving along Kikuyu Road, opposite Kikuyu Police Station.

After the accident, there was an altercation where Kelian was allegedly beaten up by the DJ and his employees.

Wako, a traffic officer based at Kikuyu Police Station, visited the scene and found Kelian being beaten.

Kelian was taken to Nairobi West Hospital on March 16, 2024 where he was admitted with lower abdominal pains and died on March 21, 2024.

The other two police officers arrested were Sammy Cheruiyot Rotich and Agnes Kerubo Mugoi who were desk reporting officers at Kikuyu Police Station on the day the victim was reported to have been beaten.

"I also intend to take the accused to Mama Lucy Hospital for mental assessment and forward the investigation file to the Director of Public Prosecutions for determination of appropriate charge to be preferred against them," concluded Kosen.
