Suspect in Monica Kimani's Murder Sought Witch-Doctor's Help

Police have stated that the missing suspect in the murder of Monica Kimani might have travelled to Mombasa to seek "cleansing" by a witch-doctor.

Police asserted that the suspect was believed to be holding vital evidence taken from Monica’s house, including some cash, the killer weapon, house and car keys, and clothes.

A team of detectives which pitched camp in Mombasa amid allegations that the suspect could have gone to a witch doctor or two for “blessings".

According to the Standard, the team stated they were pursuing good leads on the possible whereabouts of the mystery suspect in Mombasa.

The suspect was believed to have been in the company of another suspect, Joseph Irungu, on the day Monica was killed.

“Preliminary investigations have established that Irungu was seen in the company of another person near the crime scene,” police stated in an affidavit.

“The identity of the person seen with Irungu has yet to be established but the investigating team is following leads,” they added.

Irungu was using Maribe’s car when he was seen driving in and out of the compound of Monica’s apartment block, police had reported.

Images of the car captured by surveillance cameras on the roads he used from off Denis Pritt Road to his residence in Lang'ata show the driver was in the company of another man whose identity police are searching for.

In Juba, Monica was said to have been running her family business, Milly Paul General Trading Limited, which provided cleaning services for corporates and was contracted by a number of Kenyan companies.
