The reign of terror by a dreaded gang of three linked to violent robberies, rape, and defilement across Nyamira and Kisii has come to an end.
After a painstaking probe, detectives from the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau (CRIB) linked the criminals to at least three separate heists: two in Ramasha and one in Magena.
In one incident, the gang struck at the home of a 96-year-old grandmother in the dead of night. The devout Catholic, perhaps hoping to save their soul, offered a prayer for her uninvited visitors. The gang respectfully bowed their heads, but the holiness stopped there.
”Minutes later, the gang guzzled down all the milk she had kept in a flask for her medication, ate every edible crumb in sight, and made away with all the electronics in the house,” said the police.
Following this, CRIB detectives working hand-in-hand with officers from Kenyanya and Nyamira, mounted an operation that smoked the trio; William Obiero Gekonge, James Mogaka Otego, and Justus Ondieki Nyabuto out of their hideouts in Kisii.
Recovered in the swoop were stolen electronics and a motorcycle the gang had been using in their criminal escapades.
The suspects are currently in custody undergoing processing pending arraignment.
