A man accused of killing his nephew for two life insurance policy covers amounting to Sh9 million in Kangundo sub-county has been arraigned in court.
Evans Kasyoki appeared before resident magistrate K. Kemei of the Machakos High Court on Wednesday.
He is accused of murdering his nephew, the late Erick Makau in March 2014.
Kasyoki did not take a plea.
Kemei directed that the suspect be taken to Mathare Hospital for mental assessment.
He, however, ordered that Kasyoki be remanded at Machakos G.K Prison as he waits to take a plea on 17/09/2018.
The magistrate further directed the defense to put a formal application for bail and serve upon the same to the prosecutor.
He said the prosecution should supply the defense with the reply.
The late Musyoka had two life insurance policy covers which his family claims it had no knowledge of.
Kasyoki was arrested on Tuesday following the Citizen TV’s Monday expose’ on the allegations dubbed, “Murder For Profit.”
