Detectives will be tasked with solving the cold-blooded murder for eight days as they hold two Nigerian nationals who were detained in connection with the horrific murder and mutilation of Rita Waeni, a Kenyan woman.
One week after the murder at a rented apartment in Roysambu, the two suspects, William Ovie Opia and John Bull Asibor, were arraigned before the Chief Magistrate of Makadara Law Courts on Monday.
The two were taken into custody in a rented apartment in Ndenderu, Kiambu county, according to a Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officer based at the Kasarani police station.
During their arrests, detectives found numerous important items, including three laptop computers, six cell phones, and a hatchet and butcher knife.
An variety of SIM cards from Safaricom, Airtel, and Telkom were also found, along with Omar Mwamkwaju Juma’s Kenyan identity card.
The two suspects’ unlawful immigration to Kenya has been further disclosed by investigations.
The cops discovered that one of the suspects, Opia, had an expired passport on him, but Asibor, his accomplice, blithely stated that he had misplaced his passport last year.
Opia claimed to have bought the hatchet for his “own protection” from an internet merchant, according to the investigators.
