Police caught wanted criminal Kevin Kangethe in Ngong on Tuesday night. They set up an ambush and arrested him near Ngong Police Station at about 10 pm. Officers got a tip from the public about where he was. They organized 11 officers to catch him. Kangethe will be sent to the US to face charges for murder.
He’s being held in Ngong and will be taken to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations later. The US wants him for killing his girlfriend Margaret Mbitu at Logan Airport. He ran away to Kenya afterward.
Last week, he escaped from Muthaiga Police Station with the help of someone pretending to be his lawyer. He was chased but got away. Detectives found out he was in Machakos County from his phone records, but they couldn’t catch him.
Police arrested his brother and girlfriend the day before they caught him. They also arrested the lawyer who helped him escape.
Four officers got in trouble for him escaping from Muthaiga Police Station.
