The medic is currently being tried for the third murder. Notably, he is already serving a life sentence after he was found guilty of one of the murders in April.
If convicted, Kipkorir will get another life sentence without parole as he waits for his other trials.
All his victims were elderly people living in Cheshire homes or in private homes where he posed as a home caregiver or a technician sent to repair an appliance.
Those who were unlucky enough to open the door for him were robbed of their jewellery before being suffocated using a pillow.
The suspect was airlifted to the country by his sister to work as a home care nurse, taking care of elderly people, but he discovered he could make money from stealing their jewellery and killing them.
The daily reported that the Labour Court ordered Keroche Breweries to pay its former managing director KSh 45 million for unfair termination of employment.

Justice Wasilwa had, in total, awarded Shollei KSh 52 million, but she deducted KSh 7 million, which he was paid immediately after Keroche dismissed him.
