An expose aired on Citizen TV titled #MurderForProfit led to his arrest at the Thika Road Mall (TRM) after members of the public spotted him.

The deceased Makau, was jobless and had two life insurance policies, one worth Ksh.1million with Jubilee Insurance and the other worth Ksh.8million.

Evans Kasyoki, according to the expose, took the insurance using the nephew’s name and listed himself as the beneficiary.

The High Court in Machakos later ordered that Kasyoki undergo a mental examination before he is charged.

Deputy Register Kipchumba Kenei directed that Kasyoki be taken to Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital for examination before taking plea before the court.
