Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested three suspects concerning the theft of electronic items, $24,500 (equivalent to Ksh 3.16 million), and other valuables.

The suspects, identified as Lenah Khamatioli (28), Ian Kavaya (28), and Peninah Mutola (32), were apprehended at their hideout in Kawangware following a weeks-long manhunt.


The stolen items were taken from the home of a South Sudanese national in Westlands on September 24. The victim reported the incident to DCI Kilimani after discovering her housemaid missing, along with cash, an iPhone 15, a Samsung Z Flip, and several pieces of jewelry.
