The third suspect linked to the murder of journalist Jennifer Wambua has been remanded for a further 14 days as detectives continue with investigations into the killing.
Peter Mwangi Njenga alias Sankale was detained by Kiambu Chief Magistrate Patricia Gichohi after the prosecution filed an application asking for more time for police to piece together evidence.
In a sworn affidavit, investigating officer Vincent Langat said they had obtained several exhibits, among them mobile phones, that were still undergoing forensic analysis.
He told court that after checking DCI criminal data, they found that Njenga had four pending cases on robbery with violence and theft. He said cheek swabs obtained from Njenga had been forwarded to the Government Chemist for analysis.
