The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has asked the Police to gather new evidence relating to the death of Ms Mercy Keino and report back within 14 days.
In a press statement to the newsroom, the DPP states that he received Ms Keino's file on July 4, 2011 for perusal and made further recommendations to enable the Police in their investigations.
"These areas include the obtaining of statements from a number of identified witnesses; the recording of further statements by some witnesses that had previously recorded their statements; compilation of crime scene and forensic evidence; review and analysis of CCTV footage, among others," he said.
To this effect, the DPP has given the Police 14 days to carry out further investigations and re-submit the file to him for further directions.
The DPP says the investigating team will continue to liaise with and obtain technical assistance and advice from two senior prosecuting counsel.
