“On the fateful day, Ofwono pretended that he had gone to Chillies to pick his shoes he left behind but he stabbed Omugar and robbed 300,000 shillings that was on the table. The CCTV footage show the suspect taking 20,000 shillings from the deceased’s pockets” Oweyesigyeri re-counts.

Oweyesigyire adds that the CCTV shows that Odwono also never stopped at that but went ahead and stole two mobile phones belonging to the deceased.

By the time of Ofwonos arrest, he had already sold one phone at 250,000 shillings according to Oweyesigyire.

He states that during the search, the detectives recovered Sim cards belonging to the deceased at the suspect’s home, they also recovered the clothes he was wearing during the murder and aggravated robbery.

Oweyesigyire says police have done better part of the investigation and the case file will be forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions for perusal and sanctioning.

He concludes by commending the officers at Kira Road Police for the efforts they put in to apprehend the suspect.
