Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations are actively pursuing a suspect linked to a violent robbery at Ushirika Tower in Eastleigh.

The suspect, captured on CCTV, gained entry into the building using a hammer.

According to a statement released by the DCI on Sunday, the assailant, believed to be a Ugandan national, accessed a sixth-floor apartment with the assistance of a house-help named Everlyne, who is also a Ugandan national.

“Upon entering, the assailant grievously assaulted a 20-year-old Somali house-help named Hakimo Muhidin, with assistance from Everlyne,” the DCI statement noted.

Investigators report that a number of valuable items were stolen during the incident, including gold jewellery, an undisclosed amount of cash in both Kenyan shillings and U.S. dollars, as well as four laptops belonging to the family.

The victim, Hakimo Muhidin, sustained serious injuries, including a broken tooth and trauma to her hand, head, and legs.

The DCI further indicated that she showed signs of having been whipped, with visible marks on her back.

“After receiving medical treatment, she has been discharged and is currently recovering at a relative’s home in the Tassia estate area,” the detectives added.

Authorities are also searching for the accomplice, who had joined the household just three weeks prior to the incident and managed to escape with the assailant.

At the time of the robbery, the tenant, a Somali man, was not at home, as he was out with his children, while his wife was reportedly in India for medical treatment.
