An unnamed politician, a former radio presenter and a doctor are among the people police are planning to quiz in the ongoing probe into the murder of Monica Nyawira Kimani.
Police stated that they would be seeking to interrogate four people whom Joseph Irungu, a prime suspect in the murder, contacted on the night of the murder.
Irungu was alleged to have contacted them that day “seeking advice on a matter that was disturbing him”.
TV journalist Jacque Maribe, Irungu and their friend, Brian Kasaine, are being held by police in connection with the murder.
According to investigations, an analysis of mobile phone communication showed that a few hours after Irungu left Monica's house, he called and sent messages to at least four people.
Police also stated they were extending their investigation to South Sudan, with detectives planning to visit Juba, where Monica lived and worked, to retrace her movements and activities.
The sleuths revealed they wanted to know what the deceased carried when she arrived in Nairobi on September 19 from Juba as part of their investigations.
They also want to know what she did for a living, her earnings and any other activities she was engaged in.
Police believe Monica was killed and robbed of an unknown amount of money but they are also pursuing the possibility of a love triangle gone sour.
In Juba, Monica ran her family’s business, Milly Paul General Trading Limited, which was started by her father when he ministered in the war-torn country.
The company provides cleaning services and was contracted by a number of Kenyan firms, however, it was not clear if she was engaged in any other business.
There are claims that she was close to top government officials in Juba, including some in the military.
