Detectives investigating the murder of Kiambu business woman, Mary Wambui arrested and detained a taxi driver believed to have been hired by Wambui’s killers to ferry her body to a dam in Juja where it was discovered.
In a new twist of events, the driver who helped ferry the body of Mary Wambui Kamangara to Mugutha along Thika Road in a shocking revelation led police officers to a thicket where he and Judy Wangui disposed off the deceased’s body.
Michael Githae Mathenge on Friday led the police to a thicket in Ruiru where he says they disposed off Wambui body on the night of January 26.
It is here where officers found clothes used to wrap Wambui’s remains and a knife.
What the officers could not find was a carpet which Michael said was spread in the back seat of the deceased’s Mercedes Benz. This where they laid her body.
Also missing is a gas cooker which according to the officers was used to kill the mother of two.
According to an autopsy report, Wambui was hit with a blunt object at least nine times before she was suffocated.
Michael who runs a car hire business in Nairobi admitted to helping Wangui move the body from her kitchen to a dam where she contemplated drowning Wambui’s body while still in car.
But as fate would have it, she decided to abandon the car at Kwa Maiko market in Githunguri, Kiambu County.
He also told the police that Wangui confessed to killing the businesswoman whose husband Joseph Kori, she is believed to have been dating.
The driver is also said to have rented another car for Judy Wangui, one of the key suspects in the murder, which she used to drive to Wambui’s home but later left it at Homeland Inn after it failed to start.
They later drove together to the suspect’s home in Fourways Estate using the victim’s Mercedes Benz car after spending the better part of the day together. Wangui is later said to have killed Wambui.
