The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is holding a bodaboda rider accused of killing a matatu tout he fatally assaulted after a scuffle at the TAJ Mall area in Pipeline Estate along Outering Road within Embakasi, Nairobi, on July 31, 2023.

Fred Mogere is in custody at Embakasi police station where the DCI is carrying out investigations into the murder of Richard Nyanamba.

Detective constable John Lunge obtained orders to detain the suspect for 14 days pending investigations after informing Senior Principal Magistrate Gerald Mutiso of the Makadara Law Courts that he is investigating a case of murder contrary to section 203 as read with section 204 of the Penal Code.

The suspect had allegedly knocked down the deceased before they picked a fight after Mr Nyanamba asked why he had hit him with his bike.

Mr Lunge said the suspect beat up the deceased before throwing him off the high pitched road to the ground where he landed on a rock.

“The deceased asked the respondent (Mongere) why he had hit him with the motorcycle and he the (suspect) said that Matatu people are very cruel whereby he alighted from his motorbike and started beating the deceased,” constable Lunge stated in his affidavit filed at the court.

“The respondent (Mongere) held the deceased by his clothes and threw him down and fell on a rocky ground and got injured on the right side of the head and face.”

Mr Nyanamba was rushed to a nearby hospital before he was transferred to Shalom Hospital in Athi River area, Machakos County where he was pronounced dead.

Mr Nyanamba’s wife reported the matter at the Kware police station and Mr Mogere was arrested and booked vide OB24/31/7/2023.

The DCI took over the investigations and constable Lunge said he needed time to record witness statements, take the suspect for mental assessment at the Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital in Starehe, sub county.

The suspect had objected to the detective’s application claiming the investigations being carried out can be undertaken without his incarceration but Mutiso granted orders sought by constable Lunge.
