Police Suspect US Man Hired Assassins To Kill Mother-in-law
The four suspects were allegedly acting under the directions of one Patrick Murathimi Mutugu who owns a company called Caring Home Services in Indiana USA. He also works at Grant Blackford Mental Health in Marion City Indiana.
Four suspects were today arraigned in court for murder of a woman on the direction from a Kenyan living in diaspora.
The four were arraigned at the Thika Law Courts, charged with murder of the lady after they doused her in acid in February 14th this year.
She passed away on Tuesday 9th April after being hospitalized for close to two months with severe burns and lost eyesight.
The four suspects were allegedly acting under the directions of one Patrick Murathimi Mutugu who owns a company called Caring Home Services in Indiana USA. He also works at Grant Blackford Mental Health in Marion City Indiana.
They are Edwin Mutugu Wanjiru (nephew), Anne Wanjiru Mutugu (sister), Eliud Nganga Muiruri and Simon Mbua Wanjiku.
Records indicate that Patrick Murathimi Mutugu sent money on diverse dates to the four individuals to orchestrate the hate crime with malicious intent to get back to his ex-wife.
The victim was the mother to the ex-wife.
He has hired lawyer Danstan Omari to represent the four suspects.
On February 14th 2024, three suspects trailed the victim from her work-place and into a restaurant along Thika Road. They waited for her to finish her meal and then trailed her as she went back home.
Their car bumped into hers from the rear forcing her to stop on the Thika Superhighway. Upon opening her window to see who had bumped into her, Eliud Nganga (in a yellow jacket) carrying a bucket of acid, threw it in the car causing her extreme burns.
The remaining acid was later recovered at his home alone Kamiti Road in Kiambu County.
A ruling will be made Thursday to hold the four suspects in remand for 21-days to enable the prosecution complete their investigations.
