Malala was arrested on Friday in Kisumu alongside former Sports Cabinet secretary Rashid Mohamed Echesa, Matungu MP Justus Murunga and Mayoni ward MCA Libinus Oduory.
They were however unconditionally released on Sunday evening following an order from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Security coordinator Ngetich has hence confirmed the arrest of 15 key suspects behind the Matungu killings.
