Six people have so far recorded statements with the CID in the ongoing investigations into the brutal murder of three children of Eldoret MCA aspirant James Ratemo.
Among the questioned individuals, a key witness who claims to have seen the prime suspect Enock Onsase with the children on the day they were reported missing.
Others are Ratemo's wife, Ebby, a cousin to the children and a caretaker at Ratemo's Kapsoya home.
The uncle is still in custody after being charged.
"All the family members required by police to record statements have already done so and we are informed that investigations are still going on," said Charles Nyamweya, a lawyer the Ratemo family.
The children, children Clifford Nyamweya, 7, Dan Nyamweya, 5, and Glen Ongaki, 3, will be buried at Nyacheke village in Kisii on June 9.
A postmortem revealed that they were strangled to death before the bodies were dumped in River Nzoia.
“Our finding is they had a lot of bleeding around the neck, pointing towards strangulation. The challenge we had is the bodies had decomposed, having not been preserved for more than three days,” Dr Keittany Kibet said.
