An autopsy performed on Dr. Eric Maigo revealed the brutal nature of his murder, with reports indicating that he had been stabbed a shocking 25 times before succumbing to his injuries.
Meanwhile, the prime suspect in Maigo’s murder remains in police custody. Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) apprehended the suspect from her hideout in Nairobi’s Kibra area on the evening of Tuesday, September 26. The DCI had previously released her images to the public a week after Maigo’s death, launching a manhunt for her with an appeal to the public for any information on her whereabouts.
The DCI’s investigations suggest that the suspect, whose movements within Maigo’s Woodley Annex-Upper residence were captured by CCTV, may have played a significant role in the heinous crime before escaping through the back door. At the crime scene, two blood-stained knives believed to be the murder weapons were recovered.
In chilling footage, the suspect was seen casually exiting through the back door and attempting to scale the perimeter wall, encountering difficulty with the barbed wire at the top.
The tragic murder of Dr. Eric Maigo has left a community in mourning and a nation demanding answers as the investigation continues to unfold.
