Homicide unit at the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) has taken over the probe of the death of Keroche Breweries daughter Tecra Muigai.
The homicide team took over the investigation from DCI Lamu. Tecra’s lover Omari Ali Omari is being held over her death as the police investigate circumstances that led to her death.
Through the investigating officer Inspector Raphael Wanjohi, the unit told the court that they require more time to tie up loose ends, which were discovered after taking over of the investigations.
The investigators said they required seven days to complete the probe. Tecra passed on while undergoing treatment at Nairobi Hospital.
“In spite of the investigative efforts that have so far gone into investigation, critical leads are still being followed to ascertain the events of the April 22 and 23, 2020 both being critical dates in this investigation,” Wanjohi told the court.
Lawyer James Orengo is representing the family of Keroche Breweries Limited.
Wanjohi further told the court that there are samples that have been submitted to the government chemist for analysis and the results are yet to be sent to his team.
The investigating officer told the court that DCI is yet to receive the medical treatment notes from Nairobi hospital where the deceased was receiving treatment until her death.
He said the notes are critical in establishing the treatment regimen that the deceased was accorded as well as the alleged fall at Jaha Guest House.
“It will be necessary to revisit the scene in the company of the Omari Ali Omari to reconstruct the scene and establish the circumstances surrounding the fall,” Wanjohi added.
