Police have launched an investigation against three people who were arrested suspiciously after intruding on the homestead of a Kitengela businessman without notice.
The three suspects intruded on the home of Ole Karu without a well-known motive or invitation and were courageously asked the whereabouts of the businessman.
According to his wife who spoke with journalists at Athi River police station, she said the suspects arrived at around 8:30 PM on Wednesday driving in a Toyota Prado, white in color, registration number KBY 820H, and without being welcomed pushed the door asking for mzee claiming to be his friends.
“We want mzee right now and if you don’t produce him to us we will look for him,” one of the suspects ordered.
The suspects went on furiously searching for the businessman who had not arrived by then in other rooms of his house including his bedroom and shortly they set off.
Immediately after they left, the wife called the husband’s brother John Karu informed him of the suspicious guests who had visited their home looking for her husband.
Immediately John called the OCS of Athi River police station who responded swiftly sending his officers in three vehicles to trace the suspects.
The suspects were intercepted by the officers before they had gone far and their vehicle was waylaid by the officers ordering the occupants to come out,
“My officers waylaid the Toyota Prado they were driving in and ordered the occupants to come out introducing themselves,” said the officer who sought anonymity.
The suspects identified themselves as Peter Kamau, John Murigi Karumbi and Peter Nyang’au
One of the suspects John Murigi Karumbi produced a National Police Service identity card claiming to be a police officer attached at Vigilant and continued to say he had served as the OCC Nairobi Terminus in Embakasi.
Karu confirmed to the journalists that he knew one Peter Kamau who for some time was his driver but currently operating as a taxi driver,
“Kamau was my driver for some time and I suspect he was the one led the strangers into my home without a known motive,” said Ole Karu who is the victim.
The neighbors are pleading with the officers at Athi River police station to investigate the suspects to determine their motive.
The three are held in the said police station as the Investigation continues to determine whether they will get preferred charges against them.
A group of aggrieved Maasais camped at the Arthi River police Station to sympathize with the businessman.
