Three notorious suspects linked to a string of violent robberies, rape, and defilement cases in Nyamira and Kisii counties have been arrested.
Detectives from the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau (CRIB) apprehended the suspects following investigations that connected them to at least three separate incidents, two in Ramasha and one in Magena.
In one disturbing case, the gang targeted the home of a 96-year-old grandmother in the dead of night, making away with all the electronics in the house.
“Following this, CRIB detectives working hand-in-hand with officers from Kenyanya and Nyamira, mounted an operation that smoked the trio William Obiero Gekonge, James Mogaka Otego, and Justus Ondieki Nyabuto out of their hideouts in Kisii”, the DCI said.
Recovered in the swoop were stolen electronics and a motorcycle the gang had been using in their criminal escapades.
The suspects are currently in custody, undergoing processing pending arraignment.
