Suspects tracked to Kayole hideout
Acting on intelligence gathered during the investigation, detectives from DCI Central and Kamukunji, operating jointly with officers from the Nairobi Regional Criminal Investigations Office, traced the two suspects to a hideout in Kayole, where they were apprehended.
The arrested men were identified as Joseph Kimani Ndungu, alias Bajong, and Peter Kimani Githinji, alias Denoo. Both were escorted to Kamukunji Police Station, where they remained in custody as investigations continued ahead of their arraignment.
Bloodstained weapon recovered
During the operation, detectives recovered a Maasai sword with visible bloodstains, suspected to be the weapon used in the attack. The item has been secured as an exhibit and will undergo further forensic analysis to establish its role in the killing.
The DCI conveyed condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of the late Mwangangi, reaffirming its commitment to pursuing all leads, establishing the full circumstances of his death, and ensuring that those responsible face justice in accordance with the law.
