Africa-Press – Kenya. Kimilili MP-elect Didmus Barasa was on Wednesday granted bail by a Bungoma Court after being arraigned over the murder of Brian Olunga.
The legislator was granted a Sh10 million bond or a surety of Sh5 million.
The court further ordered that he surrenders his guns and stays away from Bungoma County.
Barasa Wednesday pleaded not guilty to the murder of Olunga who was an aide to his opponent and DAP-K’s Brian Khaemba.
An autopsy done last week revealed that Olunga died after a bullet struck the right side of his head.
Barasa has been in custody after he surrendered and was arraigned ten days ago after which the court allowed police to hold him for 10 days to allow investigations.
Forensic Crime Scene Investigations unit detectives have since conducted comprehensive investigations and placed Barasa at the scene of the murder.
Similarly, ballistic experts based at the DCI National Forensic Laboratory linked Barasa’s firearm to the fatal shot that took away Olunga’s life.
This followed a report issued by the ballistic experts after the investigating team forwarded Barasa’s Glock Pistol, a cartridge retrieved from the scene and bullet fragments to the ballistic lab for forensic analysis.
