A Congolese man, who had gone underground for four years after defrauding a Ukranian national of Sh105 million in a fake gold deal, will continue cooling his heels in police cell until Monday when his fate will be determined.

Milimani Law Courts Senior Principal Magistrate Bernard Ochoi directed that Andre Kongolo Tshikunga be held at Capitol Hill Police Station until January 17 when the court will determine whether to free him on bond.
