Key Suspect in Kasipul MP Were’s Assassination Arrested Near Border
A key suspect, Isaac Kuria, has been arrested in the assassination of Kasipul MP Charles Were. He was apprehended while attempting to flee to Tanzania, boosting the total detainees in the case to eleven. Investigators believe Kuria executed the hit on Were, with several other suspects also linked financially and organizationally to the crime.
In a significant development concerning the assassination of Kasipul MP Charles Ong’ondo Were, authorities have arrested a key suspect. Isaac Kuria, known as “Kush,” was captured in Isebania, a border town adjacent to Tanzania, while allegedly attempting to flee the country. Detectives assert that he played a vital role in the well-orchestrated murder that occurred in broad daylight on Valley Road in Nairobi.
Kuria is believed to be the triggerman in the attack, which was described by investigators as a targeted hit. Reports indicate that he meticulously followed Were through Nairobi’s bustling central business district before ambushing him in traffic and fatally shooting him. After the assassination, Kuria reportedly fled to Mihang’o, where he disposed of the murder weapon, later recovered by the authorities.
The investigative team tracked Kuria’s movements through surveillance of his communications with other suspects in custody. Sources revealed that ongoing monitoring had indicated his intention to cross the border, leading to his eventual arrest at a lodging facility in Isebania.
With Kuria now in custody, the total number of individuals detained in connection to Were’s assassination has risen to eleven. Among those already apprehended is Were’s personal bodyguard, Allan Omondi, and his driver, Walter Owino, not to mention William Imoli, who is considered a key figure in funding and organizing the killing.
Additionally, several prominent figures are reportedly being scrutinized as potential conspirators in this complex case. Businessman Phillip Aroko and Ebel Ochieng, the Director of Lake Basin Development Authority, are among those allegedly implicated. Authorities are diving deep into financial transactions and communications to piece together the motive behind this heinous act.
The late MP was laid to rest last week in Kachien village, according to reports. His assassination has currently sparked a wave of investigations and arrests, highlighting the extensive network involved in planning the attack, an on-going saga that continues to unfold.
The arrest of Isaac Kuria marks a critical juncture in the investigation into the assassination of MP Charles Ong’ondo Were, bringing the total number of detained suspects to eleven. As authorities delve deeper into financial links and communications, more revelations are likely to emerge. The continued scrutiny of various prominent individuals underscores the case’s complexity and the urgency of justice for the late MP’s family and constituents.
