Two out of five suspects charged with trafficking Sh3.09 million bhang will remain in jail after they failed to raise Sh3 million bond. Main suspect James Muthiora alias Karinta, his wife Fridah and co-accused Timothy Kinoti are out on a bond of a similar amount. The suspects denied the charges before Meru Chief magistrate Hannah Ndung'u. The five have been in custody since November 1, when North Imenti DCIO James Githinji filed an application seeking to detain for police to conclude investigations. On November 2, Senior Principal Magistrate Stella Abuya detained the suspects for two days.
