Ex-Gor Mahia & Harambee Stars midfielder Collins 'Gattuso' Okoth to spend 21 more days in police custody
Okoth was accused of committing the offenses on the night of April 22, 2024, during which a 3-year-old child tragically lost her life while her mother was reportedly away from their rental house.
According to reports, the incident came to light when authorities received a report from Lucky Summer Police Station, indicating the discovery of the deceased child's body with signs of suspected foul play, including bruises on the neck.
The court had in April granted the prosecution's request to detain Okoth for 21 days to allow for thorough investigations but any hopes of an early release on bail was quashed following another request for more times from the investigating officer on Monday.
During the court proceedings in April, it was revealed that Okoth would undergo DNA sampling at the Government Chemist and a mental assessment at Mathare Mental Teaching and Referral Hospital before the case's next mention on June 3.
