Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations on Saturday, August 22, arrested two suspects in connection to the shooting of a 28-year-old man, Kevin Omwenga, at Galana Suites in Kilimani estate.
The investigative body disclosed that a man by the name Robert Bodo was in possession of a mini Ceska firearm with 13 rounds of ammunition when detectives nabbed him alongside Chris Obure.
“Detectives based at Kilimani have this morning arrested Robert Bodo and recovered a Mini Ceska firearm with 13 rounds of ammunition suspected to have been used in the fatal shooting of a 28-year-old man at Galana Suites in Kilimani,” reads the statement.

In a police report, the deceased’s brother, Wycliff Omwenga, narrated that he was in preparing dinner in the kitchen, when he heard a gunshot.
On approaching the direction where he heard the gun shot sound emanate from, Wycliff found Kevin lying, face down, with blood oozing from his chest.
Bodo, on the other hand, was still in the room but in a hurry to leave.
Wycliff then rushed his brother to the Nairobi Women’s Hospital Adams branch, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
