However, according to Chemirmir’s lawyer, Phillip Hayes, the evidence against his client are circumstantial.
“It seems like every unexplained death they come up with, they’re pinning on him,” Hayes is quoted by Dallas News.
Last year, Chemirmir was facing the death penalty having been accused of killing 22 elderly women in Texas, United States.
Chemirmir was born in Eldama Ravine, Baringo County and settled in Texas in the 90s after getting married to an American citizen.

Some of the details of his murder cases date from 2018 where he is said to have posed and worked as a home healthcare aide before allegedly murdering 81-year-old Lu Thi Harris.
