A key suspect in the brutal murder of Willis Ayieko, the former human resource manager at Wells Fargo, was allegedly paid KSh 5,000 for providing the location where Ayieko was abducted and killed.
Ayieko was kidnapped after attending a funeral vigil in Siaya. At the time, he was investigating the KSh 94 million Quickmart Supermarket heist.
A TV47 investigation has revealed that several individuals played different roles in the abduction and murder.
Victor Ouma Okoth and his brother, Robert Wakolo, are believed to have planned the abduction. And Dancan Ochieng alias Otuchi is suspected of providing the location for the crime and torturing Ayieko.
Willis Ayieko was held captive for several days, during which his captors tortured him.
Witnesses reported hearing Ayieko’s cries for help, but the attackers told them the sounds came from a drunken friend.
They withdrew over KSh 1.2 million from his bank and M-Pesa accounts before killing him.
His body was later found in River Nyamboga, showing signs of severe abuse, including head injuries from blunt force trauma.
How much were the alleged killers of Willis Ayieko Paid?
Dancan Ochieng, known as Otuchi, was paid KSh 5,000 for his part in the murder.
And Victor Ouma Okoth reportedly sent the money through his sister’s phone.
Another man, Charles Odhiambo, a former convict, is also connected to the crime. He is said to have helped transport the suspects and withdrew additional money from Ayieko’s accounts. Odhiambo was reportedly paid KSh 10,000 for his role.
Investigations into the brutal killing are ongoing.
