Simon Ngigi, the husband of an 18-year-old woman whose body was disfigured and placed outside the GSU Recce camp in Ruiru, Kiambu County, has been detained.
The detectives had retrieved mobile phone conversations between Ngigi and Wambui on Monday, January 17 – the day she went missing, according to Ruiru Director of Criminal Investigations Officer (DCIO), Justus Ombati.
Ngigi escorted Wambui to her workplace a few hours before 6 a.m. on Monday, according to Ombati.
Despite Wambui’s failure to come home in the evening, Ngigi allegedly failed to report his wife’s disappearance to the police or alert Wambui’s colleagues at work.
Ngigi, who is in police custody, is being treated as the main suspect.
Wambui’s family had requested the police to expedite their investigations in order to learn the truth about their daughter’s death.
They’ve since moved the body from the City Mortuary to Nakuru, where it will be buried on Tuesday, January 25.
