The court has released four people accused of murdering a Marsabit chief on bond.
The four who had been in remand for four months were each released on a bail of Sh1 million.
Justice Francis Gikonyo at the same time allowed Mr Doyo Galgalo, Mr Galma Galgalo, Ms Bokaya Dida Boru and Mr Somo Huqa to deposit a Sh2 million bond each to secure their release in case they fail to raise the cash bail.
The four have denied killing Chief Bida Gogana on December 16, 2018, in Gar-qarsa, Marsabit Central.
The chief was said to have been hacked to death and his body doused in petrol before being set on fire by people said to be from his community. This was after he attended the burial of a police reservist said to have been a member of a rival community.
The hearing continues on May 8.
