A 21-year-old man accused of killing his employer and dumping the body in a septic tank arrested.
A 21-year-old man, Victor Ambeyi, accused of killing a woman in Njathaini, Kasarani has been arrested.
In an update on Tuesday, November 12, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations said Ambeyi, linked to the murder of Catherine Waceke Kimotho, was arrested in his hideout in Kinoo, Kiambu County.
The agency said Ambeyi went on the run after murdering Waceke whose lifeless body was found in a septic tank in her homestead on Sunday, November 10.
Following a series of investigations, DCI detectives arrested Ambeyi alongside two others accused of helping him cover the crime.
“Acting on intelligence, DCI officers from Nairobi regional headquarters proceeded to Kinoo, where the suspect was being harbored by his cousin, Collins Seda Wanjau, 22. The two were arrested.
“After interrogating the suspects, detectives furthered the investigation to Githurai 44, where they recovered the mobile phone of the deceased at a phone repair shop belonging to 22-year-old Benjamin Kimani Mwaura. He was also taken into custody,” DCI said.
Following the arrests, the suspects were booked at Kasarani Police Station ahead of their arraignment in court on Wednesday.
Reports indicate that Ambeyi had worked for Waceke for only one month. The suspect claimed that they had a disagreement with his employer after he was allegedly paid less than what they had agreed.
