An Administration Police Constable has been charged afresh before the Mombasa High Court for the alleged murder of a civilian in 2018 in Mwenza Village, Likoni.

Yunus Athman Ali denied the murder charges leveled against him before Lady Justice Anne Ong'injo.

Mohammed Karega Kassim, Ali's co-accused, is now a prosecution witness and will testify in the trial.

IPOA filed an affidavit opposing the release of Ali on bond, as they are investigating him on another allegation of murder.

He is alleged to have murdered Albert Wekesa, a bodaboda rider in May, 2022 and his body found along Dongo Kundu Road in Kwale County.

Court will rule on the matter next month.

Yunus Ali will remain at the Shimo la Tewa Maximum Prison.
