Kevin Kang’ethe Kinyanjui who escaped from the Muthaiga police station about a week ago was arrested on Tuesday night in Ngong. According to police, he was found hiding at a house at around 11:45 pm on Tuesday by detectives from Nairobi Area’s Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau.

“He is now in our hands,” said a senior police chief officer familiar with the manhunt told The Standard His arrest came a day after police arrested his brother Brian Kang’ethe who is said to have aided him in escaping from custody.

He was also arrested in the same area. Kinyanjui was being held at the station awaiting the verdict in his extradition case to the US where he is wanted for murder. He is accused of killing his girlfriend Margaret Mbitu by stabbing her multiple times on October 31, 2023, and stashing her body in the boot of a car that was parked at a Boston airport where he boarded a flight to Kenya.

The body was locked in a Toyota Venza which had remained in the parking since the evening of October 31, 2023. On Friday, police arrested four more people bringing the total number of people arrested in connection with aiding Kinyanjui’s escape to eight.
