In a major development in the murder case of former Kasipul MP Charles Ong’ondo Were, three suspects who were being held have been set free by the court. The decision came after the prosecution admitted it had no evidence linking the trio to the killing.
The suspects were released today, Thursday, June 5, 2025, from the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) Court. This move means that the authorities now believe these three individuals played no part in the MP’s murder.
“The prosecution has confirmed that after thorough investigations, the trio played no role in the murder of Ong’ondo Were,” a source close to the case stated.
MP Charles Ong’ondo Were was tragically shot dead on April 30, 2025, in Nairobi, an incident that shocked the nation. Police had arrested several individuals as part of their probe.
The release of these suspects due to a lack of evidence means the search for the real culprits behind MP Were’s murder continues. Authorities will now likely focus their efforts on finding new leads and suspects.
