Singleton appeared in court in December and was released, but the Director of Public Prosecutions, Keriako Tobiko, revisited the file and ordered the Briton’s re-arrest. He is scheduled to appear in court this week, after being arrested near the Jomo Kenyatta airport as he was getting ready to leave the country.
