Two suspects linked to murder of Reverend Julius Ndumia in Nakuru arrested

Two suspects linked to the murder of a PCEA cleric in Nakuru, Reverend Julius Ndumia Ngari, have been arrested.

Reverend Ngari was killed during a church raid at Tabuga Parish on May 3 as the attackers also assaulted the watchman Benard Nyamwaka.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) reported that the assailants broke into the church office and Ngari's residence, stealing cash, mobile phones, and other valuables.

A probe launched after the incident led by DCI teams in collaboration with officers from Nakuru North led to the duo’s arrest.

“The suspects were found in possession of valuables confirmed to be among the items stolen from the late Reverend. They are currently in custody, undergoing interrogation,” DCI said.

Officers have extended an advanced probe, combing through forensic analyses and reviewing evidence believed to be linked to a wider criminal network behind the attack.

DCI has asserted that all those linked to the incident will be brought to book.
