The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has recovered a pistol belonging to the late Wells Fargo Human Resource Manager, Willis Ayieko.
Together with the police in Siaya, the security agency managed to trail two suspects who were reportedly in possession of the firearm.
The recovery was confirmed after a tip-off from members of the public who reported two suspicious individuals, one male and one female, spotted with a gun in a car at Wagai Trading Centre.
Responding to the tip, officers from Wagai Police Station acted swiftly. Upon trying to flag down the suspect’s vehicle, the male driver defied the orders by the police and instead opened fire while speeding off towards Luanda.
Unfortunately, the driver managed to escape, leaving behind his female accomplice, who was found seriously injured and unconscious.
The police however recovered a pistol loaded with 11 rounds of ammunition, which was positively identified as the firearm robbed from Ayieko before his heinous killing.
The woman was rushed to the nearby hospital in Yala but she succumbed to her injuries hours later.
Detectives are seriously examining all evidence, and forensic teams are conducting thorough analyses to uncover new leads.
Willis Ayieko went missing on October 19, while traveling up country to attend a burial in Gem, Siaya County and after almost five days of frantically searching he was found dead. His body was found in a morgue.
