We all thought Mike Okombe was single handily killed by his girlfriend Maryanne Mumbi. It turns out there is more than meets the eye in the murder of the Nakuru Top Fry rugby player.
Mike was stabbed to death on Saturday evening November 4th in Nakuru. His girlfriend who is the prime suspect went underground before she finally surrendered to the police.
Police arrest more suspects
Apparently 37-year-old MarryAnne Mumbi isn’t the only suspect in the murder of her 27-year-old boyfriend. Police have arrested three rugby players in connection with Okombe death.
The three players arrested include Calvins Otieno, Eric Mochache and Vincent Omondi . The three together with Maryanne Mumbi were presented before Nakuru Chief Magistrates Josephat Kalo on Tuesday.
The prosecution took them to court to seek direction on detaining them pending completion of investigation. The court ordered the four held in custody at the Menengai Police Station until Monday next week when they will be charged.
Postmortem
Okombe’s body lies at Valley Hospital Mortuary pending postmortem examination. The results will shade light into his death and also help prosecutors build concrete case against the suspects.
