Witness Was Promised A Job In The Military In Exchange For Dumping Bodies

A witness in the murder of a woman and her two children has confessed to disposing off of the three bodies in exchange for a job in the military. Detectives investigating the murders said the witness said he was promised the job if he cooperated.

The police say the evidence goes hand-in-hand with several documents recovered -a resume and academic certificates-  in one of houses where the victims were killed.

The bodies of 31-year-old Joyce Syombua, Shanice Maua (10) and Prince Michael (5) were recovered in a shallow grave at Kilimo in Thingithu Estate, Laikipia County on November 16th, 20 days later after they mysteriously disappeared.

She had gone to visit her estranged husband Peter Mwaura Mugure, a Major at the Laikipia Airbase who is the key suspect in the murder case.

Mugure, is accused alongside Collins Pamba, and are currently being held at Nanyuki and Narumoru police stations respectively in connection with the killings.
