Investigations into the gruesome murder of Mildred Odira, a 32-year-old switchboard operator with Foresight Company, but based at the Nation Centre continue to gain momentum as police try to join the dots.
Police have made tremendous strides into the investigations but continue to look for more clues to help them finally nail down the actual suspects that were involved in the murder.
The Police have now taken a new a whole new angle into the investigations and are now looking into the possibility that Mildred used another means of transport from Uhai Neema Hospital after the taxi driver dropped her off at the gate.
Contrary to previous reports that she did not alight from the taxi, footage extracted from cameras outside the hospital showed that she got outside the gate before the driver went through the gate and made a U-turn.
Detectives have however not exonerated the driver, Davis Ochieng’, who is still in custody, as they are yet to receive results from the Government Chemist to ascertain whether Ms Odira was raped before she was killed.
Police are trying to identify the vehicle or motorcycle Ms Odira took from the hospital’s gate to Allsops, along the Thika Superhighway, where her body was found at 4am on January 29.
Ms Odira was buried at her home in Rusinga, Homa Bay County on Monday, with the family piling pressure on the homicide detectives to expedite investigations.W
The body, which had a wound on the forehead, another on the cheek, a cut on her abdomen and fractured legs, was found lying near the intersection of Thika and Outering roads.
