The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has roped in the police and military in the search for fugitive police officer Caroline Kangogo.
Kangogo is accused of killing two men in a span of 24 hours, on Sunday, July 4 and on Monday, July 5.
Detectives have intensified their search and are looking for her on major highways including the Nairobi-Nakuru-Eldoret and Nairobi-Mombasa. The elite units will also be checking hotels and means of communication.
"We have expanded our hunt to major highways, hotels, lodges and other places where we feel she could be hiding. Soon we shall arrest her," a detective privy to the matter told the Nation.
Nakuru County Criminal Investigations Officer Anthony Sunguti dismissed reports that Kangongo had been spotted in Nakuru and Eldoret as earlier reported by some media houses.
Sunguti noted that it had been difficult to trace Kangogo since she dumped her cellphone.
The authorities have maintained that Kangogo should surrender to avoid facing severe consequences.
"The more she continues to be on the run, the more we continue to categorise her as an extremist and the consequences will be severe," another officer stated.
The officer's parents have also called upon her to surrender to the authorities and highlight her role in the murder of the two men.
Ajisalimishe kwa polisi sababu pia yeye ni askari ambaye anajua sheria. Ni vizuri ajitoe na ajisalimishe kwa polisi. (She should surrender to the police because she is also an officer and is conversant with matters of the law)," Kangogo's father, Barnaba Kipkoech Korir stated.
Further, they pleaded with her not to harm anymore individuals.
"It was wrong for her to kill people. If at all there was anything wrong, she should have reported the matter to the police or come and discuss it with us. I am still in shock," Kangogo's mother Leah Jepkosgei added.
