Maxine has been under investigation since December 2022 in connection with the murder of her boyfriend, Asad Khan.
Mr Khan died on December 19, 2022 after succumbing to injuries inflicted on December 12.
She was arraigned on Tuesday and was set to be charged with the murder of Mr Khan. She did not, however, take a plea as the court ordered a mental evaluation to determine her suitability to stand trial.
Justice Lilian Mutende allowed the police to detain her until March 15 at the Kilimani Police Station when she will be formally charged with murder.
Justice Mutende also cancelled her bond.
