It has come to light that murder suspects Kevin Kinyanjui Kang'ethe made a daring escape from the Muthaiga Police Station in Nairobi.

Before fleeing to his native land in Kenya, Kang'ethe is alleged to have brutally murdered his girlfriend at the US airport.

According to a police report that has left the nation's security apparatus in a state of shock, the courageous escape occurred on Wednesday at approximately 5.30 p.m. in front of the station commander, who only heard a disturbance when her officers tried to pursue the fleeing Kang'ethe.

The report states that at approximately 4 p.m., a man known as John Maina Ndegwa showed up at the station and identified himself to the officers as Kang'ethe's attorney, expressing his desire to speak with his client.

According to reports, the officers granted the request and removed the suspect from the cells, leaving him alone in the anti-crime office's number three room with his "lawyer."

The report partially reads, "After a short while, the prisoner escaped by running away and left the lawyer behind. "

"At the time of the escape the station commander Chief Inspector Esther Muchomba was chairing a meeting/lecture with all the Anti-crime personnel and members of inspectorate while at her office, she was alerted by a loud noise of officers who were chasing the prisoner along Thika Super Highway but they did not manage to re-arrest him," the report further reads.

It is unclear how the suspect outwitted armed officers during the day.

Since then, four police officers who were on duty—Ann Wanjiku, a station guard; Elijah Kipkiror, a cell sentry; James Maina, a report personnel; and Hassan Saman, a station guard—have been placed under arrest while they are being questioned about the incident.


John Maina Ndegwa, the advocate, is detained by the police as well.

Kang'ethe is charged with the murder of a 31-year-old Whitman, Massachusetts resident who was born in Kenya. Her body was found in November of last year inside a car at Boston's Logan Airport.

After being apprehended in Nairobi, Kang'ethe appeared in court on a miscellaneous application. Detectives were permitted to hold him for 30 days while they decided whether to extradite him to the US, where he is wanted on murderous charges.
