Tragedy building architect denies killing 14 people

By John Osoro

A Nairobi architect was yesterday arraigned in court charged with killing 14 people as a result of the collapse of a building in the city last month.
....
Mrs Muigai said that the police feared the accused was likely to interfere with ongoing investigations, if released on bond.

The court was similarly told that Kihonge had gone underground when the building collapsed and it took the initiative of the investigating officers to seek his warrant of arrest.

The prosecutor told the court that the accused could not be trusted with a bond, since he refused to disclose to the police reasons why he went into hiding when the tragedy occurred.
