“The vehicle was also found abandoned at Wakulima Market near the ENA Coach stage and towed to DCI Headquarters for forensic examination, further linking Hashim Dagane to the killings.”
DCI revealed that it is appealing to anyone who may have information that could assist in the arrest of Hashim Dagane Muhumed to #FichuakwaDCI by calling its toll-free hotline 0800 722 203 or report at any police station.
So far, detectives probing the murders recorded statements from four individuals, including a man held in police custody, who is an accomplice to the primary suspect.
Meanwhile, police revisited several crime scenes on a fact-finding mission as the burial of the three victims took place at Lang’ata Cemetery.
Police retrieved CCTV footage from a petrol station along Mombasa Road which had captured a suspect refuelling a vehicle believed to have been used to transport the bodies. Investigations revealed that the suspect refuelled the vehicle at the station after disposing of a body within Machakos County.
Among those questioned was an accomplice who was in contact with the main suspect on the night of the killings. The two also shared a rented house in Eastleigh.
Another individual who provided a statement was the landlord, who allegedly rented the house to the suspect without official documentation.
Additionally, police arrested two people from Nairobi’s CBD who sold the suspect a mobile phone worth Ksh23,000. The suspect left a mobile number belonging to a woman at the shop.
In related developments, someone with a striking resemblance to the main suspect was arrested in Dhobley, Somalia. However, after intense questioning and verification, the individual was released.
Meanwhile, prayers were held at Al Noor Mosque in South C for the three victims of the brutal killings. They were laid to rest at Lang’ata Cemetery following the prayers.
