40 suspects in Kirima estate raid released on cash bail

Forty suspects accused of raiding and destroying property worth millions of shillings at the late tycoon Gerishon Kirima’s Tumaini Estate in Pipeline, Nairobi, have been released on cash bail despite opposition from the prosecution and Kirima’s widow. The suspects are accused of storming the estate on Tuesday night armed with bows, arrows and a pistol, and attempting to evict more than 400 tenants and Kirima’s widow, Teresia Wairimu.
