Detectives have uncovered fresh details revealing that the suspects received a Ksh.1.5 million bounty offer to kill Dr. Victoria Mutiso.
As investigations gain momentum, detectives have also recovered a second stolen vehicle linked to the disputed property at the center of the case.
Senior security officials stepped up the manhunt for two fleeing police officers on Saturday. Central Region commanders, led by David Loronyokwe, joined Kikuyu Police Station officers to search several local posts for leads on Inspector Kenneth Kipkemboi Sang (Nderi Police Station) and Bett Kiplangat Collins (Thogoto Police Station).
At Thogoto Police Station, officers raided Collins Bett’s residence, seizing items and records crucial to the case. They then searched Karinde Police Station, where the main suspect, Elijah Kimoi, previously worked.
Investigators revealed that the mastermind promised three officers Ksh.1.5 million for the hit, allocating Ksh.500,000 to each upon completion. Detectives believe the suspects received a down payment before the attack. The meticulously planned ambush involved a stalker who tracked Dr. Mutiso’s movements.
Detectives are currently inspecting firearm registers across the Dagoretti, Nderi, Karinde, and Thogoto stations to establish the chain of custody for the murder weapon. Investigators now hold the firearm, which they trace back to Inspector Kenneth Kipkemboi Sang. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) confirmed that Elijah Kimoi allegedly used this weapon to shoot Dr. Mutiso.
Inspector Sang is well known to Thogoto residents. He served at the local station for under six months before moving to Nderi Police Station as the Officer Commanding Station (OCS). Kiambu security bosses transferred him in May following public outrage and protests over the controversial death of student Gustavo Victor Karani.
In a parallel development, DCI officers tracking the uniform-clad suspects recovered another Toyota Prado in Kisii County. Investigators believe the killers used this vehicle and one other to intercept the taxi carrying Dr. Mutiso to work.
