The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has warned Kenyans of a murder suspect on the run.
In a statement shared by the agency on the evening of Tuesday, May 19, the suspect, identified as Brian Kenani alias Kaisilo alias Fazul, was reported to be among a group of youth that killed Pamoja FM presenter Mohamed Hassan Marijan on May 4.
The detectives further disclosed that after the incident, Fazul took off and has never been traced since, and called on the public to furnish DCI with any information on the suspect's whereabouts.
"Brian Kenani alias Kaisilo, alias Fazul whose photographs appear below is wanted by DCI detectives based at Kilimani in connection with the appalling murder of Pamoja FM Radio journalist, the late Mohammed Hassan Marijan, on 4th May 2020.
"Any person with any information that may lead to his arrest is requested to report to DCI Kilimani or at the nearest police station. The information will be treated with a lot of confidentiality," read the statement.
Marijan was murdered in the wee hours of the night as he was going home after hosting a show at the Kibera-based radio station.
Since the murder, the agency had made headway in bringing the perpetrators to book, first with the arrest of a 14-year-old who was suspected to have participated in the attack.
The detectives narrowed down on the juvenile after reviewing CCTV footage.
"Following the appalling murder of 62-year-old Mohammed Hassan of Pamoja FM radio, DCI detectives arrested a 14-year-old juvenile positively identified after an analysis of IC3 CCTV footage.
"In a group of four others, the suspect accosted the deceased who was heading to his place after duty at the said radio station, violently robbed him in which process they stabbed him on the left side of the chest killing him instantly," the investigative authority explained on Monday, May 11.
A colleague of the deceased had earlier informed Kenyans.co.ke that Marijan was one of the longest-serving show hosts at Pamoja FM.
"I saw his body and it had a lot of blood. He started working with us since Pamoja FM started. He is one of the people who have been there from the start," the station's managing director Hussein Adam stated.
