Kimilili Mp-elect Didmus Baraza was on Wednesday 24th August granted bail after he was arraigned at a Kakamega Law court after murdering Brian Olunga.
Baraza was granted a Ksh 10 million bond or an alternative of Sh5 million cash bail, ordered to surrender his gun and to stay away from Bungoma County.
The legislature on Wednesday 24th pleaded not guilty to the murder of Brian Olunga on August 9th.
The postmortem results revealed that the deceased died of a pistol bullet that struck the right side of his head.
It also showed that Olunga died of profuse bleeding when the bullet got stuck in his head.
The bullet was recovered. The exercise was conducted by western region pathologist Dr. Dickson Muchana.
The Police were granted more time to complete their investigations and allowed more witnesses, including NYS and IEBC officials to record statements.
The pistol that was used to attack Brian Olunga has also been recovered from Barasa.
He has denied shooting the victim who was buried last Saturday 20th August 2022 in Samitsi, Malava, Kakamega County.
Mr. Tobias Olunga, Brian’s father, said proper action should be taken against Didmus Baraza, adding that his son’s life was taken while he was still very young.
“I am hoping the police will carry out a thorough job and present to the court a tight case that will bring the killer of my son to book. It pains me to see such a young soul go like that,” he said.
