Detectives on Tuesday, May 13, arrested another suspect in connection with the murder of Kasipul Member of Parliament Charles Ong'ondo Were.
According to the police, Amos Barasa, a boda boda rider, is believed to have used his motorbike to carry the MP's killer, trail his vehicle, and later as a getaway bike after the attack.
Arrested in Nairobi's Kibera area, Barasa was found in possession of the motorcycle, which matches the description of the bike captured by CCTV footage near Parliament, and was seen trailing the late MP's vehicle. "It was revealed that Barasa served as the rider of the motorcycle with registration number KMFZ 413W, a Bajaj Boxer, which the assailants used to trail the MP's vehicle and later as a getaway bike after the attack.
Upon his arrest, Barasa was found in possession of the motorcycle in question." According to the authorities, the suspect is a habitual criminal who masquerades as a Boda Boda operator, often collaborating with armed criminal gangs during their operations.
