What you need to know:

  • The two allegedly conspired to publish and distribute child pornography.
  • They are also accused of possessing digital images and videos depicting minors.

Two university students accused of child pornography and money laundering will remain in custody after an Eldoret court declined to grant them bail, ordering the prosecution to secure evidence and put measures in place to protect witnesses.

Principal Magistrate Caroline Wattimah rejected the applications by Eugene Kipruto Kangogo, 21, and Manasseh Kiptanui Kosgei, 26, saying concerns raised by the prosecution over the nature and effect of the alleged offences were valid.
