Two women arrested over ploy to make a killing
Two ladies were yesterday arrested over an attempt to make a killing after stupefying an unsuspecting reveller in Mwea East backfired after police disrupted their plan.
Grace Njeri and Evelyne Esendi aged 29 and 32 years respectively, are reported to have booked a room at Village Inn guest house in Mwea East on Sunday.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the duo lured their victim Daniel Gathege Maira to their trap before their evil plans were thwarted but left a few moments later.
“They had earlier been spotted leaving the room and proceeding to an ATM… where detectives believe some transactions were made,” the DCI said.
“It is this suspicious move that attracted the attention of the CCTV controller at Nice Digital City, who immediately alerted police officers based at Wanguru Police station.”
According to DCI, the officers’ quick response saved the man who was found lying on the bed unconscious and is currently receiving treatment at Comrade Mission Hospital.
The two suspects are still in custody and will be expected to appear in court to answer to stupefying charges.
