Jumaisi allegedly confessed to the murders, including that of his wife, after authorities discovered the victims' remains at the Kware dumpsite in early August.

However, his lawyer, John Maina Ndegwa, argued that his client was coerced under duress, calling the confession a result of mistreatment by detectives.

"My client endured severe inhumane treatment, forcing him to admit to crimes foreign to him.I urge the court to provide him with urgent medical attention as investigations proceed," Ndegwa stated.
