Tonny Odhiambo, the main suspect in the tragic death of Murang’a University student Constance Githiji, is facing renewed legal scrutiny after it emerged he has another pending criminal case in court. The development complicates his situation as investigations into the student’s death continue, raising concerns about his conduct while out on bond.
Reports indicate that Odhiambo allegedly committed a separate offence in September 2025 and was later arraigned in court. He was granted bond in that case but reportedly failed to return for subsequent hearings, effectively skipping court.
Sources reveal that this earlier case had not been fully resolved at the time he became a person of interest in the Githiji matter.
The new revelations have intensified public attention on the case involving the Murang’a University student, whose death sparked outrage and calls for swift justice.
According to reports, investigators are now examining Odhiambo’s past record as part of ongoing efforts to establish a pattern of behavior and determine the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
Legal experts note that jumping bond is a serious offence that may influence how courts handle any future bail applications. Reports indicate that courts often consider a suspect’s compliance with previous bond terms when deciding whether to grant bail or impose stricter conditions.
Meanwhile, authorities have not released full details about the September 2025 offence, but sources suggest it adds to the weight of allegations against the suspect. The case continues to unfold as investigators gather evidence and prepare for possible prosecution.
The death of Constance Githiji remains under active investigation, with officials urging patience as due process takes its course.
