The late Velvine Nungari Kinyanjui.
Joseph Kinyua Murimi, 30, the prime suspect in the murder of 23-year-old waitress Velvine Nungari Kinyanjui, has been detained for a further four weeks to allow investigators to complete the probe.
Kiambu Law Courts Chief Magistrate Patriciah Gichohi in a virtual sitting, allowed detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to continue holding the suspect pending more investigations.
The motor vehicle spare parts trader was expected to plead to the murder charge but it was deferred to May 26, after DCI detectives asked for more time on grounds that the DNA samples analysis were yet to be completed.
