By Ruth sang
A court has granted a senior officer attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations bond in a case where he is accused of killing his wife in Roysambu, Nairobi.
The suspect, Daniel Macharia, is alleged to have fatally stabbed his wife at their residence along Lumumba Drive before surrendering to police in Naivasha in early March 2026.
Appearing before Makadara Law Courts, the accused was granted a bond of KSh5 million with two sureties of a similar amount, or an alternative cash bail of KSh1.5 million. The matter was presided over by Justice Beatrice Kimemia.
During the proceedings, the prosecution told the court that the case file has been with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) since April 17, 2026, and sought an additional week to provide further direction on the case.
The court allowed the request but marked it as a final adjournment.
The defence, led by lawyer Danstan Omari, successfully applied for bail and bond, citing the accused’s medical condition and his willingness to comply with court requirements.
The case is scheduled for mention on April 27, 2026, when the prosecution is expected to outline its final position.
