Huruma MCA Peter Owera was arraigned on Tuesday morning over the killing of a bodyguard attached
to ODM parliamentary aspirant Anthony Aluoch.
Owera and five others did not take plea when they appeared before senior principal magistrate Hellen Onkwani.
The defense team asked the court for more time to respond to the miscellaneous application filed by the prosecution.
The prosecution wants the six people placed in police custody for 14 days investigations to be completed.
Starehe DCIO Linus Owango said victim Dan Omolo was brutally murdered on March 26 in Huruma, Nairobi.

“Due to the complicity of this murder we were unable to produce the suspects in court within 24 hours as required,” said the DCIO.
Police further said they needed to collect communication data and carry out age assessment and mental status checks.
The others linked to the bodyguard's murder are Gabriel Ochieng, Elly Owuor, Dennis Otieno, Raphael Obunga, Peter Mwangi and Daniel Okumu.
The application will be argued tomorrow.
