Detectives under the supervision of DCI George Kinoti on Friday arrested a Recce Squad officer in connection with Monica Kimani's murder.
Odhiambo Orlando was arrested and detained at Muthaiga police station before being arraigned before Chief Magistrate Justus Kituku at Kiambu Law Courts.
The Judge ordered Mr. Odhiambo, a member of the elite Recce Squad attached to US Embassy, to be remanded for 14 days.
He will be charged with murder on November 2nd with police asked to expedite investigations.
Detectives believe that Mr. Odhiambo, who has been on the run for one month, is the man pictured on the CCTV along Dennis Pritt Road in the company of Mr. Joseph Irungu, the prime suspect of Monica's murder last month.
Investigators had earlier on hinted that Ms. Kimani's killer was a highly trained assasin given the evidence cleared thus sabotaging investigations.
On Wednesday, Mr. Irungu and his former fiance Jacque Maribe, would know the fate of their bail application fate, which will be determined by Justice James Wakiaga.
