Police Find More Guns In Chris Obure’s Office As Murder Probe Intensifies
The puzzles surrounding the murder of Kevin Omwenga in Kilimani continues to stiffen by the day. In the latest development, detectives have discovered two more guns a pistol a shotgun hidden in a safe in Obure’s office on Senteu Plaza on Galana Road the same office where Ouko had hidden the ceska pistol that was used in the murder.
Mystery surrounding gun possession deepened with reports that Obure had been declared unfit to be issued with a firearm.
Early 2017, the same Mini Ceska that was used in killing Omwenga was confiscated after Obure was found to have misused it by threatening another businessman, Ben Alila.
The police are yet to determine if the two discovered guns were licensed. If not then Obure is likely to face a fresh charge of being in possession of illegal firearms.
Obure had also in 2016 been accused of threatening another man with his firearm while at the Klub House on Ojijo Road in Parklands.
Obure and Ouko are suspected of murdering Omwenga.
Chris Obure Obure is the director of GLO-Jet International, a shadowy aviation firm said to be involved in the transportation of valuables, including gold.
Police are following leads that Obure and Omwenga had a bitter disagreement at a hotel in Upper Hill a day before the fatal shooting.
The deceased had planned to travel to Dubai to cement the fake gold deal that was launched in March and was to fetch Sh120 million. This is believed to be the basis of their disagreement and a reason the detectives are trailing their business links. Obure is a renowned fake gold scammer in town and Kevin had joined.
Ouko the prime murder suspect is Obure’s bodyguard and is believed to have acted on his boss’s command.
