DCI Arrest The Woman Who Murdered A Three-Year-Old

The investigators claimed they flushed her out of hiding in the Illasit area near the Kenyan-Tanzanian border.

Detectives from the elite Crime Research & Intelligence Bureau (CRIB), assisted by detectives from the Homicide division and another special squad headquartered at DCI Nairobi regional headquarters, managed to locate Njeri and her accused collaborator.

This was brought about by the revelation that the duo, Njeri and Jackson Ngui, severely tortured and killed the child in Nairobi before going into hiding. The two suspects are being transported to Nairobi to undergo murder charges.

"Forensic analysis conducted at the couple’s house in Kwa Maji area within Mowlem, in Kamukunji sub-county, revealed that the baby was killed in the house before his body was dumped at Mama Lucy Kibaki’s hospital mortuary," the DCI said.

The boy's mother explained in an interview with Lynn Ngugi, a journalist, that she left her two sons under Njeri's care before she left for Saudi Arabia in November 2021 to work. Hardly four months had passed before the mother received the shocking news of her little boy’s death.

The older boy is six years old, while the younger one was three years old by the time of his death. The heartbroken mother tearfully narrated the details of the occurrence, causing outrage among citizens online who demanded the DCI look into the matter. According to the mother’s narration, the older boy was forced to clean the bloody floors at the house the killing occurred.

This prompted the DCI detectives to look into the event. They used cyber and digital forensics to track the suspects in their hiding as they prepared to cross the Kenyan border into Tanzania.

The couple's home in Nairobi, where the minor's mother said the kid was killed, was also examined and evidence collected.
