Police have arrested four suspects in connection with the murder of Kasipul MP Charles Ong'ondo Were.
The officers believe some of the suspects are members of organised criminal gangs, such as 'Mjahidin' which has been linked to armed robberies in the Eastlands, Nairobi.
The suspects were apprehended in Eastlands, in a Saturday night operation led by a technical team from the Operational Support Unit at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters. "Upon further analysis of previously obtained leads, officers from the National Police Service swiftly conducted an operation and successfully arrested four suspects who had been positively placed at the crime scene," said Muchiri Nyaga, Director of Corporate Communication at the National Police Service (NPS).
One of the suspects was found hiding in an apartment near the United States International University (USIU), where police also recovered the getaway vehicle used in the crime.
