The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) announced the recovery, stating it followed the arrest of three suspects, including a boda boda rider who claimed to have transported the gunman on the day of the attack.

This development adds to the evidence being assembled by investigators, who have also arrested the suspected gunman and two other boda boda riders in connection with the murder.
The DCI stated that the recovery of the motorcycle would help investigators reconstruct the sequence of events leading to the lawyer's killing. The investigation aims to establish the circumstances surrounding the murder and identify all those involved.
