According to the boda boda driver who transported the two men accused of killing a Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) official, he cooperated with them since they had shot dead another driver two months previously who had refused to transport them.
On Tuesday, Alex Njenga (pictured) was accused of robbing a person with violence.
He refuted the allegations. According to reports, Njenga dropped off his accomplices at the spot where Constable David Mayaka was killed and his wife, Hellen Kemunto, was shot, injured, and had her phone stolen in Mihang’o, a sub-county of Njiru.
After leaving the scene, they traveled to Umoja and sold the stolen phones there. The incident took place about 9 p.m. on August 8.
Njenga told the DCI officers that one of the men had contacted him at around 8 o’clock and asked him to pick him up at Kayole.
They then went to a pub where they picked up the second suspect.
Before they discovered PC Mayaka and his wife, he claimed to the detectives, the two had stolen a woman’s cell phone.
He drove the two thieves to a gas station in Umoja after the shooting in Mihang’o, when one of the suspects contacted a man who bought the two cell phones.
They then drove to the Soweto neighborhood, where he dropped them off after receiving Sh3,000 for the ride.
