A Nakuru court has ordered the detention of four secondary school students who were caught transporting a body of a taxi driver, earlier reported missing.
The Judge ruled that the teenagers remain in police custody for 10 days pending investigations into the incident, where the students could be held culpable of the murder of the taxi operator.
The suspects were nabbed by police officers along the Nakuru-Nyahururu road, ferrying the decomposing body using a stolen Toyota Premio car.
Among the four suspects, one was identified as a student of Fanaka Secondary School in Narok, another one from Nakuru's City Mission Secondary, while the other two are said to be brothers, with their respective schools undisclosed.
The officers also found the students' school uniforms in the stolen vehicle that was being traced by security agents.
OCPD Kongoli indicated that the four were being investigated and would face murder charges in court.
The teenagers aged between 17 and 19, are the main suspects in the killing of the taxi driver, who was reportedly abducted during a carjacking episode in Narok Town over the weekend.
The four are said to have tortured the victim before killing him.
