Detectives have nabbed a gang of five robbers who have been terrorizing residents of Nairobi.
Kevin Oduor, John Chege, Leroy Omondi, Mutahi and Clifford Bogonko were arrested on Thursday in Nairobi’s Kayole estate following an intelligence-led operation by detectives drawn from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and a firearm was recovered.
The five are also linked with the cold-blood murder of a 37-year-old woman on June 26.
According to the DCI, the woman, Beatrice Okumu, had just closed her Mpesa shop at around 10 pm (local time) on a fateful night before three robbers on a motorbike accosted her.
They ransacked her handbag for money and other valuables before shorting her dead and escaping from the scene.
Detectives later collected two spent cartridges of 9mm calibre at the scene.
Also impounded was a white motorcycle belonging to one of the suspects, which was being used as a gateway means.
