The four are reported to have broken into the house of Wan Baihui where they stole a laptop, Sh30,000, $100,600, Chinese Yen and jewelry.
Akinyi was freed on a Sh1.2 million bond. Khan was directed by court to deposit a cash bail of Sh500,000 with an alternative bond of Sh1 million while the two Richards were ordered to pay a cash bail of Sh100,000 with an alternative bond of Sh200,000.
