The trio is said to have been part of a four-man gang that lured and robbed an Australian couple of Ksh13.5 million in a fake gold business deal.
In the incident reported by DCI, the suspects are said to have lured the couple from Kampala, Uganda into the country with the promise of getting gold.
Upon their arrival, the couple was ushered with a VIP treatment before being roughed up with hefty blows and strangulation.
They were then robbed of US$60,000, a gold necklace worth US$10,000 and a Rolex watch worth US$20,000.

Scared, badly injured and writhing in agonizing pain, the couple was hurled back in the Prado and dumped at Rehema Hse within the CBD. Good Samaritans helped them to a South B hospital where they were treated before reporting to DCI Gigiri.
“An operation team and crime research detectives launched a manhunt for the perpetrators, forensically placing the arrested four at the scene of crime. Their apprehension came along with the recovery of money counting machines, metallic boxes, forged certificates of mines, customs reflector jackets, military boots, KRA certificates, stamps, a Kenyan flag and fake golden metal bars all confiscated at their Runda office,” a statement by DCI read in parts.
