The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has intensified efforts to solve the horrifying series of murders in the Kware area of Mukuru kwa Njenga slums, leading to the arrest of two more suspects. This development comes as families of the victims provide crucial information to homicide detectives.
The latest breakthrough in the case occurred on Monday, with the arrest of Amos Momanyi Mogusa at City Cabanas. Mogusa was found in possession of a mobile phone that belonged to Roselyn Akoth Ogongo, one of the victims whose dismembered body was recently discovered at a local dumpsite. Ogongo’s remains were positively identified by her family at the Nairobi Funeral Home on the same day.
Ogongo’s family, in a statement recorded with the DCI, confirmed the identification of her handbag among other items recovered from the residence of the main suspect, Collins Jumaisi Khalusha. Khalusha was arrested earlier on Monday and was promptly arraigned in court on Tuesday.
The series of gruesome discoveries at the Kware dumpsite has shocked the local community and heightened calls for justice and security in the area. DCI detectives have been working around the clock to uncover the details of these brutal crimes, and the recent arrests mark a significant step forward in the investigation.
The apprehension of Mogusa and the discovery of evidence linking him to Ogongo highlight the complex and deeply troubling nature of the case. The identification of personal items belonging to the victims at Khalusha’s residence provides further evidence against the suspects and underscores the meticulous work of the DCI in piecing together the chain of events leading to these heinous acts.
As the investigation continues, the families of the victims remain hopeful that justice will be served. The DCI has assured the public of their commitment to solving the case and bringing all those involved to account. Meanwhile, the community in Mukuru kwa Njenga is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.
The Kware killings have brought to light the urgent need for enhanced security measures in the area and greater support for vulnerable communities. As the legal proceedings against the suspects unfold, the families of the victims, along with the broader Nairobi community, continue to grapple with the aftermath of these tragic events.
