Detectives attached to Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) have arrested the kidnapper behind the disappearance of two children in Shauri Moyo, Nairobi.
Charles Opindo Bala aged 13 and Junior Mutuku Musyoki, 12, disappeared on June 30 and July 7, 2021, respectively.
According to DCI, the 20-year-old Masten Milimu Wanjala admitted to have kidnapped the children and executed them in cold blood.
“The bloodthirsty murderer revealed to detectives that he executed the harmless children,” stated DCI.
Wanjala, who is believed to have murdered over 10 minors, led detectives to the spot where he committed the beastly act and disposed off the bodies in Kabete.
He had earlier contacted Musyoki’s mother Felista Wayua, demanding for a ransom of Sh50,000 in exchange of her son’s freedom.
“Opindo’s father Tony Opindo, whose son never returned home from Sagaret Primary School in Majengo, was asked to send Sh30,000 to buy his son’s freedom,” sleuths stated.
Detectives are currently interrogating the criminal,to establish the whereabouts of the other children he is believed to have kidnapped and executed.
“More details shall be provided as investigations ensue,” said DCI.
