THREE ADDITIONAL SUSPECTS ARRESTED IN ONGOING PROBE INTO RICHARD OTIENO'S MURDER

A crack team of detectives drawn from the Homicide Investigations Bureau and the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau (CRIB) has nabbed three prime suspects linked to the brutal murder of Richard Otieno Haga, alias Molo President which occurred on January 18, 2025, in Elburgon.

The suspects Peter Oketch, alias DJ IO, Joseph Kihara Kariuki, alias Jose, and Evans Aseka Okututi were forensically connected to the crime scene with other suspects who are still at large. Investigations revealed that they were transported from Molo to Elburgon to carry out the heinous act.

Following the incident, Peter Oketch and Joseph Kihara Kariuki fled to Majahida in Bariadi District, Tanzania, in an attempt to evade capture. However, they returned to Kenya on Friday, February 21, 2025, after Tanzanian authorities closed in on them.

The two suspects together with their accomplice have since been arrested and are scheduled to appear before the Nakuru Chief Magistrate's Court today for custodial orders.

Meanwhile, as the investigation continues, detectives are ramping up efforts to bring more suspects to book.

About

The establishment, development and growth of Criminal Investigations Department can be traced to the evolvement of the Kenya Police to which it remains one of the key formations. The first police officers were recruited in 1887 by the Imperial British East Africa Company, I.B.E.A. to provide security for stores in Mombasa. It was from these humble beginnings that the Kenya Police was born.
