Homicide detectives have identified Hashim Dagane Muhumed as the prime suspect in the murders of three family members; a mother, her daughter, and her 12-year-old niece.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Sunday October 27, 2024 shared a photo of the suspect on social media, appealing to the public for assistance in locating him.
The events unfolded on October 21, 2024, when Hashim, 24, was captured on CCTV driving a Nissan Note (Reg No. KDQ 718Y).
He was seen picking up the victims from their home in Eastleigh just hours before their bodies were discovered the following day in different locations.
The car was later found abandoned at Wakulima Market, and investigators are conducting forensic examinations to gather more evidence linking Hashim to the crime.
According to a suspect in custody, the attackers had demanded a ransom for the victims. When the women recognized their captors, the situation escalated into violence, leading to the tragic killings.
The victims, Dahabo Daud Said, 38, Amina Abdirashid Dahir, 22, and Nusayba Abdi Mohammed, 12, were buried in Langata Cemetery on Saturday, October 26, 2024.
