Chirchir, in his miscellaneous application filed before the court, wants to be granted 14 days to detain the suspects in police custody to enable them to complete their investigations into the murder.
“I pray that you grant us 14 days to hold the suspects at Langas police station cells pending completion of investigations into the killing of the former international runner at his house in Elgon View estate three weeks ago,” argued Chirchir, who is based at KapseretSub County.
The wife of a retired marathoner is among four suspects linked to the murder of former athlete Samson Kandie, who was found dead at his house in Elgon View Estate on the outskirts of Eldoret City, an Eldoret court was told on Wednesday.
Investigating Officer Felix Chirchir told Senior Principal Magistrate Peter Ireri that four suspects were smoked from their various hide-outs within the town in connection with the killing of the former international athlete at his home on October 3.
