The most wanted man finally nabbed in Makueni
13th January, 2016
One of Kenya’s most wanted fugitives slipped through police fingers for two years before he was finally arrested in Makueni yesterday. Even then, the authorities did not know they had a dangerous man in their custody until inmates alerted them. John Kilonzo Musyoka, also known as Karunyu, had been on the run since July 4th, 2013 when he was suspected of leading a six-man gang that killed 12 people in the remote Nyanyaa village of Waita in Mwingi, Kitui county. On the day he was arrested in Emali in Makueni county last week, he identified himself as Jackson Mutua Kimanthi, and the police at first could not link him to the murders in Mwingi. He did not have any identification documents at the time of arrest.
