A suspected serial killer and his five accomplices linked to the gruesome murder of three women in Mawanga Estate, Nakuru have been nabbed after a stealth operation by detectives.

The arrest of the prime suspect in Kisii and subsequent arrest of his accomplices in Nakuru was courtesy of a mobile phone he stole from a victim they killed and burned last year. Nakuru County Criminal Investigations Officer (CCIO) Anthony Sunguti said the suspect was found in possession of the mobile phone that they had been tracking.
