A General Service Officer (GSU) suspected of murdering a woman in Nairobi's Langata will be held in custody for 21 days as police continue with their investigations.
Ouma appeared before Senior Principal Magistrate Irene Kahuya after being charged with the murder of a 28-year-old woman who allegedly jumped to her death on Sunday, January 14.
The investigating officer, Johnson Wanjohi, informed the court that various exhibits, including used condoms, were discovered in the house where the suspect allegedly jumped.

He told the court that based on the facts, the decedent, Nelvine Museti, must have been with a man when she died.
"Some lead investigations shows that the deceased was in the company of a man in her house where they must have spent the night together, they must have enjoyed their times together and the condom that we found as an exhibit shows, some drinks were used too," the police officer said in court on Monday.
Investigators recovered empty beer bottles, bhang rolls, glasses with potential alcohol content, and two half-full bottles of an unknown beverage.
Wanjohi informed the court that the samples had been submitted for forensic analysis.
"I want to inform the court that Some of the items recovered have been forwarded to the Government Chemist for Toxicology and DNA analysis," he said in a statement.
Wanjohi requested that the suspect be held for three weeks during his submissions, citing the need for the police to complete their investigation and record witness testimony.
The officer assigned to the Langata police station did not object to his detention, and he will remain in lawful custody there.
Ms. Museti, who lived alone on the third floor of Ascort Apartments, is said to have fallen to her death on January 14 in an occurrence that shocked her neighbors.
