State Prosecutor Eveline Onunga told the court that investigators need 14 days to review CCTV footage, record witness statements and conduct an identification parade. Onunga relied on an affidavit by Geoffrey Ndatho, who swore that Mararo shot two police officers - Lawrence Muturi and Festus Musyoka, and a waitress Felistas Nzisa. Lawyer Dan Maanzo -representing the victim - supported the application to detain Mararo arguing that doctors were yet to fully ascertain the medical status of the police officer. But lawyer Cliff Ombeta representing Mararo argued that there is no justification to detain him for 14 days. The magistrate is scheduled to rule on July 7 on the application to detain Mararo for two weeks.
