"This crime was committed by more than one actor. The man here before the court is suspected to be the man behind the wheel," the prosecutor told the court.

The Suspect is said to have disappeared from Nairobi and went to hide the firearm that was involved in the shooting.

An officer attached to the Directorate of Criminal investigations in Kasarani said they need more time to travel to Mombasa, Nakuru and Kiambu where they suspect the firearm used in the killing is hidden.

"It's in the interest of justice, the family of the deceased are still mourning and when we wanted to record their statements we were unable because they are still traumatised," he said.

The court also heard that Gachoki was in Nakuru, where he is suspected to have hidden his identification card and mobile phone.

Gachoki, who surrendered to authorities on Monday, has denied the murder charges and said he is ready for investigations to be done.

The case will be mentioned on June 8.
