He was later arrested and put in police custody after the court granted police seven days to finish their investigation and arraign him in court.
On Tuesday morning, the suspect was remanded pending mention of the case on March 3, 2016 and hearing on May 2016. His lawyer asked for a bond hearing which will be considered during the mention.
COURT DELAY
Mr Charles Kioko, a brother of the deceased, had on Monday contacted Nairobi News to raise concerns on the delay to arraign the suspect in court.
Buruburu DCIO Jeremiah Ikao confirmed to Nairobi News that there was a hitch on Monday morning that had prompted the delay. The suspect was later arraigned at Makadara law courts but the magistrate said the murder case could only be handled by the high court.
The deceased is said to have been a gifted athlete who played football in the school’s team and was also a member of the Redeemed Gospel Church Mathare football team.
She will be buried in Sagana, Machakos county, on February 20, 2016.
