An Eastleigh couple facing a charge of being in possession of two hand grenades and committing a terrorism act will have to wait longer to know if they will be released on bond.This is after the prosecution was on Thursday given time to respond to a second application by a defence lawyer to have the accused Mr Hassan Mahati Omar and his wife Fardosa Mohamed Abdi released on bond.

Nairobi acting senior principal magistrate Ms Elena Nderitu said it was fair to grant the prosecution time to respond to the application, noting that the police file was not initially with the prosecutor in court.

The accused denied the charges and have been held in remand at Industrial Area and Lang'ata women's prison respectively.
