Hashim Dagane Muhumed, alias Hashim Mohamed Khalif, a suspect accused of the gruesome murder of four women allegedly abducted from Eastleigh, was arraigned today, 24th December 2024, before the High Court in Milimani.
The prosecution team made an application before Lady Justice Diana Rachel Kavedza to defer the plea pending a mental assessment of the suspect.
In her ruling, the Kavedza allowed the prosecution application and directed that the suspect be subjected to a psychiatric assessment and the report be tabled in court before 21st January 2024, when he is expected to take a plea.
Hashim Dagane Muhumed Alias Hashim Mohamed Khalif is alleged to have killed Dahabo Daud Said Alias Waris, Amina Abdirashid Dhahir, Musayba Abdi Mohamed, and Deka Abdi Noor Gorane on diverse dates between 21st October 2024 and 30th October 2024, in the Kyumbi area of Machakos County, the Parklands area of Nairobi County, the Parklands area, and the Lavington area of Nairobi County, respectively.
According to the DCI, Dagane was found in possession of several fake documents, including a fraudulent Kenyan ID.
Reports indicate he also served as a police officer in Ethiopia before he was arrested and jailed over murder claims.
He later fled to Kenya where he set up a base and started a taxi business in Eastleigh and Parklands.
