A man accused of stealing motor parts valued at sh 1.2 million
from Makadara MP Mike Mbuvi Sonko matatus will remain
in custody for one more day.
This is due to a misplaced file having failed submission before
court at the time of plea proceedings.
The suspect has been in custody for atleast five days but
will wait until the court can retrieve the file with detailed facts.
The file has detailed facts accusing Samson Ochieng on three more charges of stealing motor vehicles parts from two different owners and attempting to escape police custody at buru buru station.
He was accused of stealing numerous motor starters and alternaters amounting to 1,245,000 belonging to three different owners including MP Mike Sonko.
The suspect was accused of stealing from six different matatus of Isuzu make belonging to MP Mbuvi. The charge alleges that Ochieng took Six starters and six alternators on October 23 rd last month
amounting to sh 1,200,000.
Yesterday, Ochieng denied all charges but confessed to being in possession of only two starters placed as exhibits in police station.
Prosecution applied for his custody inorder to retrieve the file with detailed facts in the case.
Before the court could proceed further , Ochieng stated torture allegations in the cells claiming that an officer used a metal rod to hit his spine and other body parts .
He described to the court a grim incident of the assault and explained that the result of injury made it impossible to attempt any escape from police custody.
R.M Magistrate Esther Nyongesa requested for the officers tag number and summoned for appearance in court.
The case will be mentioned on November 27 th inorder for exhibits to be arraigned before the Makadara court.
