Police are investigating the circumstances under which a man accused of hiring two men to eliminate a relative so as to inherit his piece of land left the police cells.

The man, accused of masterminding the hit by allegedly paying a deposit of Sh5,000 was, however, betrayed by the hit men who revealed their plans to their target and eventually recorded a statement.
