Detectives from DCI Dandora, in collaboration with the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau, have arrested Ben Waimari and Moses Odhiambo alias Pascal in connection with a robbery and rape incident that occurred on March 11, 2025.
The two suspects are currently in custody as police intensify efforts to track down their accomplices.
According to the DCI, the victim was driving along Ruai-Kangundo Road toward her home in Malaa when her vehicle skidded off the road and got stuck.
As she struggled to free the car, she was approached by Waimari, Odhiambo and five other suspects who pretended to assist her.
However, their intentions quickly turned sinister when they overpowered her, forced her into the car’s boot and hijacked the vehicle.
The assailants drove through Kangundo Road and Mowlem area before stopping near Nairobi River at Kwa Mbao in Dandora.
There, they removed the victim from the boot and took turns assaulting her.
Her cries for help, however, attracted the attention of a passing motorist, forcing the attackers to flee in her vehicle, leaving her behind.
The victim was rushed to the hospital for treatment and the incident was reported at Kwa Mbao Police Post.
Besides the harrowing assault, she lost household items she had purchased, money from her accounts and her vehicle.
Following forensic analysis and coordinated intelligence efforts, detectives trailed the two suspects back to the crime scene, leading to their arrest.
Cornered with no escape, the suspects later led officers to Maringo in Buruburu sub-county, where the victim’s vehicle was recovered, albeit vandalized and stripped of its wheels.
Some of the stolen items were also found.
The suspects are undergoing processing as detectives continue to pursue their accomplices, who remain at large.
