her head decapitated is among five people who have been arraigned before

her tenant details as required by the law, which would have helped the police
in tracing the suspected killer.

continue holding the suspects for 10 more days to complete their
investigations.
While
granting the orders, Kituku said the case is of great public interest in light

"There
is no doubt that the nation's psyche has been gripped by the increased cases of
victims being lured and killed in rental apartments.
"The
most recent unfortunate incident is now what is before the court," the
magistrate said.
