Tuesday, May 24, 2022 –Dennis Karani Gichoki, a man named in the chilling Mirema Drive murder is now believed to be the driver of the getaway car.
Police have today Tuesday May 24 told the court that the said man was behind the wheel of the car that was parked a few meters from the scene and which the killer used to execute his dirty deal that left their friend Samuel Muvota dead on the spot.
Making their argument today at Milimani Magistrate Court, the DCI noted that Karani may not have been the person who pulled the bloody trigger but he was an accomplice and who gave the instructions to shoot and kill.
The investigating officer told the court that in the CCTv clip retrieved from the scene, it was clear that the killer was not alone.
“This crime was committed by more than two actors your honour. The respondent before the court is highly suspected to be the person behind the wheel,” the lead investigator expressed in the court.
The officer also asked the court to pressure Karani to submit the killer weapon to the police before the case officially kicks on.
It was also established that the bereaved family was still mourning the late and therefore they had not submitted their statements as it is required by law.
“It’s in the interest of justice that the family of the deceased are still mourning and when we wanted to record their statements, we were unable because they are still traumatised,” the officer told the court.
The suspect, Mr. Karani, will therefore be remaining under the police custody for another period of 14 days as further investigations continue.
