Omar Lali´s case opened for another 30 days following new court decision (Details)

2 weeks after Omar Lali was warmly received back home after being set free, the Law is still on his case following a recent court decision.

The same court which set him free on bond has agreed to give 30 more days to allow for conclusion of police investigations into the controversial case.

A decision agreed upon by Lamu principal magistrate Allan Temba, Omar´s lawyer Yusuf Aboubakar alongside the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) during a live video link session on Wednesday, June 10.

However, Mr Lali has been spared from detention during the 30-day period of which police investigations will be ongoing.

Just last week, DCI boss George Kinoti indicated there was evidence that proved Tecra´s death was murder.

We have enough evidence to prove that it was murder.

An autopsy report revealed Tecra succumbed to injuries sustained on the left side of her head.
