According to the DCI, investigations have shown that the woman fled the residence through the backdoor following the cold-blooded murder.
“The suspect who was captured leaving the victim's residence at Woodley Annex -Upper is believed to have been involved in the murder most foul before escaping through the back door. Two blood-stained knives believed to have been the murder weapons were recovered from the scene of crime,” said the DCI in a statement on Thursday.
The DCI is now requesting members of the public to come forward with any information that will help identify the culprit.
Only one person has been arrested for the heinous murder thus far. Cynthia Lusega Andalo, the suspect, was arrested and arraigned on miscellaneous application on Monday afternoon, and police were granted permission to retain her for five days while investigations continue.
Detectives believe she may have known or worked with the primary suspect because they were together earlier that night in Maigo's Woodley home.
Maigo's killer was also found to have used two kitchen knives in the bedroom attack.
According to phone records and CCTV footage analysis, Maigo was last seen on Thursday evening at a prominent entertainment club on Ngong Road. He met three women there, including Andalo.
Police went to the club as part of their efforts to identify everyone who met him there. It was then that they recognized Andalo. Detectives believe the prime suspect is among the two officers who have yet to be identified.
According to an examination of Maigo's phone, he sent money to several people on the Thursday before his death. Andalo received Ksh.650 from Maigo as part of the transactions.
Two kitchen knives found near Maigo's body showed identical fingerprints, indicating that Maigo's killer used two blades. Detectives are still trying to figure out whether she stabbed him with both knives simultaneously or one after the other.
