NAIROBI-(MaraviPost)-The Police in Nairobi have arrested Sebastian Kamande, 28, for allegedly poisoned his wife and her female friend on March 29, 2022 before going into hiding.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations arrested the suspect along the Embu-Nairobi highway as he attempted to flee from the DCI detectives.

“The suspect was nabbed on Friday at Sagana River while on his way back to Nairobi, in a bid to outfox the DCI team.

“He was dramatically arrest along the highway after being ejected from a vehicle he boarded, in a well-coordinated operation monitored at the Cyber and Digital forensics operations room,” read DCI statement.

The Standard report indicated that Kamande served the poisoned food to his wife Rahab Gathoni and her friend Abigael Gathoni, who had come visiting, before fleeing their Dandora home leaving their lifeless bodies sprawled on the floor.
