Police were granted permission to hold eight officers of the defunct Special Service Unit for 21 more days.
Chief magistrate Diana Mochache, on Thursday, November 10 directed that the police use the time to analyze pieces of evidence collected during the arrest of the officers as requested.
The prosecution had asked the Kiambu Court to allow the police to hold the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officers for more days as they analyze their DNA samples with evidence collected at a suspected crime scene.
Investigators will also use the time to analyze the electronic devices of the eight officers.
The court also granted the prosecution, three more days to respond to affidavits filed by the legal team representing the officers.
"The prosecution team has argued and proved that they were served with a replying affidavit to their miscellaneous application this morning inside the court and it would be unfair in pursuit of justice to deny them more days to file a replying affidavit to that effect.
"I, therefore, grant them three more days instead of seven," the magistrate directed.
Initially, nine officers had been arrested, however, one was freed on a Ksh500,000 bond.
The officers' legal team led by lawyer Danstan Omari has requested that the officers be released on cash bail, but the court did not grant the prayers.
The nine officers are accused of playing part in the disappearance of two Indians; Mohamed Zaid, and Zulfiqar Ahmed and their Kenyan driver, Nicodemus Mwange.
The trio are said to have been abducted outside a hotel along Mombasa road weeks before the August 9 polls.
The two Indians were consultants for President William Ruto's campaign strategy team.
