Ayieko was deeply involved in the company’s internal probe following the theft which occurred in November 2023 during the transit of funds from Quick Mart Supermarket to a bank in Nairobi.
His mutilated body was discovered in a shallow stream in Siaya on October 23, three days after he went missing.
The theft prompted Wells Fargo management to hold a series of crisis meetings which culminated in an internal investigation that identified several staff suspects linked to the heist.
The investigation resulted in police arresting persons connected to the crime.
Forensic analysis of communication data pointed to two main suspects: Anthony Nduiki and Daniel Mutheka.
Even considering the circumstances of his death, there is no immediate proof tying Ayieko’s murder to his role in the heist inquiry.
No arrests have been made so far.
