Kenyan detectives investigating the murder of lawyer Kyalo Mbobu have recovered a motorcycle believed to have been used to transport the suspected gunman. The recovery marks a significant development in the case, which has been under investigation since Mbobu's killing on September 9, 2025. According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the motorcycle was traced through several owners before being located.
The DCI said a boda boda rider, who was arrested as part of the investigations, provided crucial information that led to the recovery of the motorcycle. The rider, who was operating the motorcycle on the day of the shooting, told investigators that he was unaware of the gunman's intentions. The rider's account helped detectives launch a search for the motorcycle and track its movements.
The recovered motorcycle has been taken to the Homicide Offices for further forensic examination. Detectives are expected to examine the motorcycle for possible evidence that could link it to the shooting or to the suspects under investigation. The DCI said the boda boda rider positively identified the motorcycle as the one he had used to ferry the suspected gunman during the fatal attack.
The latest development comes after detectives arrested three suspects, including the boda boda rider, as part of investigations into Mbobu's death. The suspected gunman has also been arrested, and investigators are now working to establish the movements of the suspects before and after the shooting. The recovered motorcycle is expected to provide investigators with another piece of evidence as they reconstruct the events surrounding the killing.
The DCI said investigators are following multiple leads as they seek to establish the circumstances and motive behind Mbobu's murder. The agency said its investigation would also seek to identify everyone who may have been involved in the killing. The focus remains on establishing the full circumstances of the killing, identifying every person involved, and bringing those suspected of responsibility to justice.
Mbobu's murder has remained under investigation as detectives work to piece together what happened before, during, and after the shooting. The DCI said with every new piece of evidence, detectives are steadily reconstructing the chain of events surrounding the murder. The agency is working to ensure that all those involved in the killing are brought to justice.
The investigation into Mbobu's murder is ongoing, with detectives working to gather more evidence and identify all those involved. The recovery of the motorcycle is a significant breakthrough in the case, and investigators are hopeful that it will lead to further leads and ultimately, to justice for Mbobu's family.
