Serial murderers from Ruiru caught

Jeremiah Ongati Makambo, 30, Silas Kipyegon, 24, and 35-yr-old Daniel Gatunguta were arrested by Ruiru-based detectives in a forensic-led operation initiated yesterday within the Wataalam area. The three are specifically linked to the brutal murder of the late Ms. Lovince Njoki, who was hacked to death in Wataalam on August 23, 2021, by unknown assailants, who also disappeared with her valuables including her phone.

The nabbed trio has since used the handset interchangeably until the detectives pounced on them and recovered the exhibit. 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 late Ann Mumbi and Winfred Kalumi 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.
