Kennedy Otieno Oyier alias “Spiderman 3” will remain in custody for seven more days to allow more time for investigations.
The suspect who was arraigned earlier today at the Kibera Law courts was linked to various burglaries in Kileleshwa and Kilimani Estates in Nairobi.
Police constable Stephen Kibei from Kilimani DCI offices told the court that Kennedy was apprehended on April 11 in Kawangware.
This was after several complaints were filed at Kilimani Police Station.
“The suspect was arrested following numerous reports of burglary, house break-ins and stealing within Kilimani , Kileleshwa and Capital Hill and booked at the Kilimani police station,” Kibei told the court.

Police recovered 10 laptop bags, 20 flash disks, one television set, several motor vehicles parts, metal bars used to break into houses and assorted electronic cables.
