A 17-year-old girl has been detained by police after it was realised that she was somewhat connected to the death of IEBC ICT Manager Chris Msando.

According to police, the girl was found and arrested in Migori County on the 24^th of August 2017 and had a mobile phone that was used to threaten Msando.

Following court orders, she was detained at Muthaiga Police Station as investigations continue.

THE CONNECTION

The late IEBC ICT Manager Chris Msando had previously reported to Central Police Station in Nairobi that he was receiving life-threatening messages, days before his sudden demise. The girl, being found with the tool used to send these messages may be a pointer to finding those responsible.

There are now three people who have been arrested over Msando’s murder, the girl being the latest one.

Andrew Kipkoech and Mwalimo Idra had already appeared before court, in which the decision to detain them was made.

“Investigating officers have information that other persons who were involved in the commission of the offence have yet to be arrested,” said Nicholus ole Sena, a detective at the DCI (Directorate of Criminal Investigations)

Chris Msando’s body was found dumped in Muguga Forest, alongside the body of Maryanne Ngumbu, who was said to be his friend.
