A Nyeri court on Friday released three suspects in the Al-Shabaab attack on the dusitD2 complex in Nairobi, citing police findings following investigations.
Resident Magistrate Nelly Kariuki made the ruling after being told that the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit closed the file saying no offences and links to the incident were found during its probe.
Inspector Cyprian Gitonga Muthoga, the officer in charge of crimes at the ATPU, said the suspects could not be directly linked to the terror attack.
“We have completed the investigations in liaison with the ATPU and from the findings, no offence has been disclosed,” Inspector Muthoga told the magistrate.
“We wish to withdraw the miscellaneous application that sought to continue holding the suspects and close the file.”
