Detectives in Ruiru town on Monday arrested three people suspected to have participated in the injuring and murder of several women in the area.
Prior to their arrests, the primary suspect; serial killer and rapist Paul Mogara was apprehended and arraigned on October 14, 2021.
In a statement, the DCI said, “The trio, Jeremiah Ongati Makambo aged 30, Silas Kipyegon aged 24 and 35-year-old Daniel Gatunguta are specifically linked to the murder of Lovince Njoki who was hacked to death in Wataalam area on August 23, 2021.”
The sleuths used the deceased’s phone to track the three suspects who had gone with it.
The DCI added, “The nabbed trio has since used the handset interchangeably, until the detectives pounced on them and recovered the exhibit.”
According to the sleuths, one of the survivors of Magara’s earlier assault, eighteen-year-old Anne Mumbi, succumbed to injuries sustained during the attack.
The serial killer attacked Anne and her sister Winfred Kalumi on their home.
The DCI revealed, “Meanwhile and on a sad note, the 18-yr-old victim who had been admitted at the Kenyatta National Hospital's Intensive Care Unit after being attacked by the dreaded Magara alongside her 19-yr-old sister succumbed to the injuries. The two were attacked in their sleep by the lone agent of death, who mastered access to their house before committing the monstrous act, leaving the two for dead.”
“The DCI condoles with the family of the late Ann Mumbi, and tirelessly works to bring to book the felons who have caused untold pain and grief to the families and victims of the string of attacks in the area,” the DCI added.
