On Monday 29th January 2024, Police officers arrested Kevin Kang’ethe Kinyanjui, a suspect allegedly involved in the murder of Margaret Mbitu.
The law enforcers through a tip from the public, made their way at an entertainment joint in Westlands, Nairobi where the man was clubbing.
Hours later, the United States embassy applauded the Kenya Police efforts in arresting the fugitive who had since been on the run after he committed the crime.
“Grateful for our partners in Kenyan law enforcement who worked with U.S. counterparts to apprehend a fugitive wanted for murder in the United States,” read the statement.
