The court also directed that the suspect be taken to hospital immediately to determine what caused the injury on his left shoulder.

Irungu claims he was shot by gunmen after he dropped his fiancee Jackie Maribe at her home in Lang’ata estate.

The mentioning of the case is set on October 9, 2018.

Monica Kimani reportedly became friends with the suspect through social media.

Her brother later revealed that he was with Irungu at the Kenya Polytechnic University but they lost contact with each other after they completed their studies.

Police are following leads in South Sudan where Monica was based, to determine the nature of her friendship with the suspect.
