The prime suspect in the killing of a General Service Unit (GSU) officer attached to State House has been found fit to plead and has denied the murder charges before the High Court in Nairobi.
Kithuka Musyimi entered his plea at Kibera Court on Thursday after a mental assessment report from Kenyatta National Hospital confirmed he was mentally fit to stand trial.
He pleaded not guilty when the charge was read before Justice Diana Kavedza. Musyimi appeared virtually from Nairobi Remand Prison.
Musyimi is accused of murdering GSU officer Ramadhan Khamisi on October 10, 2025, at around 8:10 am at State House Gate D along Dennis Pritt Road in Nairobi. Court documents state that Khamisi was on duty guarding the gate when he was allegedly attacked by a man armed with two traditional arrows. The officer sustained severe injuries and later died while receiving treatment at Kenyatta National Hospital.
The prosecution opposed Musyimi’s release on bond, indicating it would contest any bail application. Defence lawyer Martin Nabende told the court that he intends to present oral submissions on whether Musyimi should be released on bond.
Investigations into the attack are ongoing.
