Omar Lali, the 54-year-old boyfriend of the late Tecra Karanja was on Monday presented at the Lamu law courts facing suspected murder charges. Tecra suffered cerebral-oedema resulting from a fall from a staircase at a house she shared with Omar in Lamu on April 27. Omar was arrested last Sunday by homicide detectives over suspicions that he could have been involved in her death. “They are allowed to detain the suspect as long as they allow him access to legal advice from his advocates,” he said. The application to detain the suspect was made by the office of the DPP and the Investigating Officer.
