Kisauni Sub-County detectives have arrested two individuals connected to the brutal murder of Stephen Opello, which occurred on November 22, 2025, in Chembani, Mtopanga.

The suspects, Julius Otieno Mageta, aka Junior, and his accomplice, Mohammed Omar Hamisi, aka Babu, were flushed out of their hideout and arrested, thanks to a crucial tip-off from members of the public.

The duo viciously assaulted Opello, leaving him critically injured. He was rushed to Coast General Hospital by good Samaritans, clinging to life, but the injuries proved fatal. He succumbed while receiving treatment.

The suspects are in custody, undergoing processing pending arraignment.
