The court went silent when the

Investigating Officer narrated how the

suspect a youthful Susan Nasimiyu

cousin to the deceased, 5 year old

Godwin Wekesa who was living with her

within the sprawling slums in Kiambu

County Kenya died painfully from

injuries inflicted through daily

beatings.

As Nairobi’s Chief Magistrate Bernard

Ochoi granted the State prosecutor

Gachoka’s filed application seeking to

detain the suspect Susan Nasimiyu for

more days in police custody for

investigations be completed.

Though a Miscellaneous application

submitted before a lower criminal Court

at Milimani Law Court Nairobi, while

presenting the inflicted injuries all

over the body of the deceased through

images which are very disturbing and

cannot be printed , the Magistrate in a

ruling ordered the suspect be detained

and further stressed that the State has

surficient prove that they need more

days to conclud investigations relating

to the alleged offence stated.

The suspect from Trans Nzoia County

faces murder charges contrary to section

203 as read with section 204 of the

penal code and if found guilty may spend

the rest of her life in prison since

capital offence is punishable by death

or life imprisonment .

Nasimiyu who lived with the deceased for

five months after she brought Godwin

Wekesa from her rural home when the

deceased lost both his parents was

arrested on Friday 09th December and

booked at Kiambu Police Station under

Occurrence Book number 15/9/12/2022

later transfered to Gigiri Police

Station where it was again booked under

OB 19/09/2022 which was the jurisdiction

of the area within Githogoro sprawling

slums where the alleged crime was

committed.

“The investigating officer need more

time to secure post mortem report as

autopsy on the deceased body is yet to

be conducted , record statements from

the suspect and witnesses and also to

visit the deceased rural home in Trans

Nzoia to get more information on the

past living conditions” said the State

Prosecutor Gachoka in his submission.
