The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is calling on the members of the public to help them trace the main suspect in the brutal murder of Rita Waeni.
In a public notice on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, DCI said the major obstacle in their investigation was tracking down the main suspect in Waeni's death.
DCI admitted that the main suspect remains elusive even though he was captured by CCTV cameras walking Rita Waeni to her death.
The investigative agency appealed to members of the public to step forward if they could recognise the suspect caught on CCTV.
"The prime suspect in the murder, a man only captured by CCTV cameras walking Rita to her scene of death remains in the holes, and the DCI Homicide team is sparing no resource in his pursuit.
"In its endeavour to expedite the delivery of justice to the young soul and provide closure to the family, the Homicide Directorate calls upon anyone who can identify the man whose images (though blurry) appear on this post, to come forward and share information that may assist in his arrest," DCI said in a statement.
"To share any information on the suspect's identity or whereabouts, please #FichuakwaDCI through our toll-free hotline 0800 722 203, or report to any police station or police officer," the statement added.
