Michael Macharia, popularly known as DJ Brownskin who is facing charges of aiding suicide of his wife now wants DCIO Kasarani Jimmy Kimaru summoned to appear for disobeying court orders.

Through his lawyer Duncan Okatch, DJ Brownskin has also alleged that police were forcing him to confess and admit to the offences as pre-condition for his release.

When the matter came up for mention before Milimani Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina, the lawyer asked the court to issue orders compelling the DCIO and the investigating officer to appear in person to explain why they have failed to comply with an order issued last week to release the accused from custody.

The court heard that though the accused was granted Sh50,000 cash bail but the police are yet to release him.

“On June 9, 2023 in blatant disrespect of the court orders, the DCIO, Kasarani and investigations outright declined to release the accused person on the face of the original court order over the weekend. On Monday, the police extended the non-compliance and rushed him to court for plea,” Okatch told the court.

“DCIO Kasarani with utter contempt of court brought the accused to Milimani Law Courts. The officers ensured he did not communicate with anyone including his lawyers. They brought him at 5:30am,” the lawyer told the court.
