Plea taking of ‘Killer Cop’ Rashid Ahmed, a Pangani-based police officer, has been adjourned for a second time to February 9,2023.
The High Court Judge ruled that the suspect has so far not undergone psychiatric examination as required by the Law for all murder suspects.
Rashid has been ordered to present himself to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations at Garissa latest today in the evening.
The Court directed that Rashid should be escorted to Nairobi for medical examination immediately after submitting himself to the DCI.
The Judge has also cautioned Corporal Rashid that the Court will proceed to issue a warrant of arrest against himself should he fail to submit himself voluntarily to the DCI offices at Garissa.
The court said that if he submits himself voluntarily to police, after the medical examination, he will be released on anticipatory bail by the OCS on terms to be determined by the OCS.
The final orders of the Court were that Rashid will take plea virtually on the said date at 8:45am but only under the hands of police officers.
The cop was set to enter a plea today to murder charges in the deaths of two boys, Jamal Mohammed and Mohammed Dhair Kheri, after the DPP recommended that he be prosecuted for the cold blood murder of the boys.
According to the court documents, he murdered the pair on March 31, 2017 at Amal Plaza on 4th Eastleigh Street, 1st Avenue.
