Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji, gave the Inspector General of the National Police Service, Hillary Mutyambai, seven days to conclude the findings of investigations into Daniel Musyoka’s murder.
“You are directed to undertake comprehensive investigations into the matter and submit the resultant investigation file within seven days thereof,” Haji said in a letter.
Going missing
Daniel Musyoka, 53, went missing on Thursday, August 11 in unclear circumstances.
His body was on Monday, August 15 found at the Amboseli National Park in Kajiado South Sub-County.
On Tuesday, August 16, his two sisters Mary Mwikali and Ann Mboya positively identified him. “His two sisters identified the body lying at Loitoktok sub-county hospital last night. We are waiting for communication from police headquarters either to ferry the body to city mortuary or to remain here,” the police boss said.
According to Oloitokitok police boss Kipruto Ruto, Musyoka’s body was dumped in a place frequented by wild animals but hadn’t been mauled.
He added that the injuries were fresh and showed signs of a physical struggle with his assailants.
“When the police arrived at the scene, we discovered that it was a male body and it was still fresh,” the Oloitokitok police boss said.
Speculations
Musyoka’s brother-in-law, Jackson Muimi and his sister Ann Mbolu told the Star that their kin was a God-fearing man and could have refused a bribe from his killers.
“We know who Daniel (Musyoka) is, he cannot be compromised by anyone. I suspect that someone must have attempted to bribe him to change the numbers in the just-concluded election, and he refused,” said Muimi.
