"We have arrested three suspects, including the deceased's boyfriend, Mr Wakukha and his two friends, Mr Allan Wafula and Mr Timothy Masika, who are aiding in investigations.
The suspects appeared at the Makadara law courts on Wednesday, but we sought 14 days to complete our investigations before they are charged with murder," Ms Nyongesa told the Nation yesterday.
"Detectives have analysed phone data and they are piecing together more information to unravel the circumstances surrounding her death. We already know she was murdered, what we want to establish is the motive behind her killing," added Ms Nyongesa.
Investigators determined that on March 19, the partner collected up Ms Jerop from her flat in South B and departed for a date. Mr Wakukha was in his Mercedes Benz.
The police examined CCTV video, which showed the lover collecting her up from her flat in South B in his Mercedes Benz before they departed for an unknown location.
It is alleged that the boyfriend travelled to Bungoma in his car after the incident and returned to nairobi via public means. He led the investigators to the location of the car, and it had blood in it.
"The Mercedez Benz had traces of blood all over. The blood samples were taken to the government chemist for a DNA test to establish if it matches with that of the deceased," revealed Mr Jared Seko, the acting DCI boss Makadara.
