DPP consolidates charges against suspects in MP Charles Were’s murder

The Director of Public Prosecution(DPP) has consolidated charges against suspects in MP Charles Were’s murder.

The charges which had been filed at Kibera and Milimani Law Courts were approved for consolidation by Lady Justice Diana Kavedza.

“Five suspects have been freshly charged with the murder of Hon. Charles Ongond’o Were, following a move by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to consolidate two separate cases previously filed at the Kibera and Milimani Law Courts.

Lady Justice Diana Kavedza approved the consolidation application, allowing the prosecution to proceed with a joint case against all five accused.

The court heard that William Imoli Shigali alias Imo, Edwin Odour Odhiambo alias Machuani, Ebel Ochieng alias Dave Calo, Isaac Kuria Chege alias Kush, and Allan Omondi Ogola allegedly murdered Hon. Were on the evening of 30th April 2025 at around 7:40 p.m., near the City Mortuary Roundabout along Ngong Road in Kilimani, Nairobi County.

Previously, Shigali, Odour, and Ochieng had denied the murder charges at the Kibera High Court, while Kuria and Omondi had done the same at the Milimani Law Court.

Justice Kavedza scheduled a bond ruling for Shigali, Odour, and Ochieng on August 14, 2025, with a separate bond hearing for Kuria and Omondi set for September 22, 2025.” said ODPP
