David Oyugi, a Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) officer and the Assistant Director of Lake Nakuru National Park faced a tough time explaining the whereabouts of missing man Brian Odhiambo.

Oyugi took the stand yesterday at around 10:30 am, before High Court Judge Julius Nangea, to explain where Odhiambo, who allegedly went missing in the hands of his subordinates.

Pin-drop silence filled on the courtroom as friends and relatives of Odhiambo followed the court proceedings as Oyugi said his officers arrested a suspect on January 18,  but he escaped from their custody.
