The Directorate of Criminal Investigations have arrested three more suspects connected to the murder of Nakuru activist Richard Otieno alias Molo President.
In a recent statement, DCI revealed that Tanzanian authorities assisted its officers in making two of the three arrests.
The arrests came after a forensic analysis of the crime scene conducted by the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau which linked the three to the crime.

Once they were identified, detectives drawn from the Homicide Investigations Bureau set out to round up all the suspects but only three were captured with several others still at large.
Reports indicate that the two suspects fled to Majahida in the Bariadi District of Tanzania after committing the crime to avoid detection.
However, the Tanzanian authorities captured them and returned them to the country on February 21.
When they were brought back into the country, they were re-arrested alongside another accomplice still in Kenya.
The three are expected to appear before the Nakuru Chief Magistrate’s Court on Monday, February 24, for custodial orders.
This is the second wave of arrests that has been made in connection to the murder which led Elburgon residents to storm the mortuary where his body was being held and marched with it to the streets to demonstrate.
