The investigation into the murder of a taxi driver in Nairobi has unveiled a horrifying tale of conspiracy and violence.
The victim, Evans Bikundo Moracha, was allegedly killed in his own house in Mihang’o, Nairobi, before his body was dumped in River Sagana in Murang’a County. The circumstances surrounding his death point to motives involving money and a love triangle.
Moracha, a former clerk at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is believed to have fallen victim to assailants who had a vendetta against him. Notably, his own wife is now a suspect in the case, suggesting a complex and unsettling aspect of this tragedy.
One of the suspects in this case is a police officer who is currently on interdiction. This officer is suspected to be involved in the alleged love triangle, which may have played a significant role in the events leading to Moracha’s untimely demise.
Detectives handling the case have received crucial information from witnesses who claim to have seen assailants carrying luggage from Moracha’s house on the day he went missing.
Additionally, reports suggest that there was commotion in his bedroom on the fateful day when he disappeared, leading investigators to suspect that the fatal assault took place there.
For the time being, Moracha’s house has been designated as a crime scene. His two children have been relocated, and his wife is in custody, assisting with the ongoing investigations.
Two suspects connected to the abduction and murder of Moracha were apprehended by the Nairobi Region Crime Research detectives following a night-long operation spanning Nyeri and Kajiado counties.
These suspects, Stanley Collins Muthika and Kennedy Murimi Kinyua, were arrested in separate locations.
The investigation has revealed a chilling plot that transcends a mere disappearance and subsequent death.
It appears that Moracha was abducted from his house, with his wife present, on the night of October 11.
His car was later discreetly returned to his wife’s neighborhood and left at a safe distance from her house.
The involvement of cyber-crime detectives revealed communications and negotiations among Teresa, Moracha’s wife, and the two arrested suspects. These exchanges occurred before, during, and after the discovery of Moracha’s body.
As a result, police suspect that Teresa may have masterminded her husband’s murder, raising questions about the timing of her report on her husband’s disappearance after news of the body’s recovery in Murang’a emerged. Investigations are ongoing to uncover the motives behind this heinous homicide.
