Police have been allowed to detain Josiah Njeru Njiru, the suspect in the murder of gospel singer Rachael Muthoni Wandeto, for 10 days as they investigate the death.

Makadara Resident Magistrate Juma Maiya denied the investigators the 21-days they had sought and directed that he be detained at Kilimani Police Station pending completion of investigations.

Njiru was presented before the Magistrate Maiya by detectives from the Homicide Unit of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations on Thursday, May 21, where they said they needed more time to probe the matter before preferring charges against him.
