MURDER SUSPECT NABBED AFTER MONTHS ON THE RUN

Detectives from the homicide unit alongside their counterparts from Kisii South and Busia have arrested Ken Kimanthi Gichunuku, alias “Sultan,” who had been on the run over the brutal murder of Seth Nyakio Njeri.

Nyakio’s lifeless body was discovered on October 14, 2024, inside Blessings Building in Biafra Estate, Thika town, setting off an intensive manhunt.

Following the heinous act, the suspect went underground in a bid to evade arrest.

However, relentless investigations and forensic leads finally closed in on him. Detectives trailed and arrested Gichunuku today in Busia town near the Kenya–Uganda border, where he had been working at a cereal distribution shop while hiding in plain sight.

The suspect is currently in custody undergoing processing pending arraignment.
