Victor Ouma Okoth, a suspect linked to the horrendous murder of Wells Fargo Human Resource Manager Willis Onyango Ayieko has been apprehended.
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations smoked Ouma out of his hideout in Dandora Phase IV, Nairobi, where he had been living off the proceeds of his alleged crime.
Ouma is currently in custody at Muthaiga Police Station and was identified at the crime scene through forensic analysis conducted by a collaborative team of detectives from DCI’s Homicide, CRIB, and Operations units.
The investigation is ongoing, with detectives following critical leads to identify and apprehend additional accomplices.
Ayieko had attended a funeral in Gem but went missing when travelling to his home in Kakamega.
CCTV footage later showed two men abandoning Ayieko’s Ford Ranger pickup at a fuel station in Sabatia before casually walking away and taking a motorbike.
Authorities believe Ouma was involved in the abduction, torture, and murder of Ayieko, whose body bore horrific signs of violence, including severed ears and gouged eyes.
Ayieko’s mutilated body was discovered in a stream in Gem, Siaya County last week.
