Despite police hinting that thy will take a new angle in probing the death of Milred Odira, a direction that may let the taxi driver Davis Ochieng’ off the hook, detectives have however said they wold have to receive results from the Government Chemist to ascertain whether Ms Odira was raped before she was killed.
National Police Service director of communications and corporate affairs Charles Owino said other samples from her nails, which would help determine whether she had a fight and with whom, are yet to return results.
“The suspect will be arraigned tomorrow, but we are relying on the lab results which will help determine if he has a case to answer,” Mr Owino said.
Mr Ochieng’ has been in custody as police carry out their investigations.
Police are trying to identify the vehicle or motorcycle Ms Odira took from the hospital’s gate to Allsops, along the Thika Superhighway, where her body was found at 4am on January 29.
