Investigators say the same vehicle was central to moving the killers around Nairobi during the days leading to the legislator’s assassination. Authorities are tracing all its movements for evidence.
Sources indicate the car was purchased for just 300,000 shillings. The low purchase price has raised questions about how the vehicle ended up in the hands of suspects linked to a high-profile murder.
Police are examining whether the officer-owner of the vehicle had any knowledge of its use in the killing. Investigators have not yet formally implicated the assistant commissioner in the case.
Security experts say the discovery highlights possible misuse of official resources and lapses in accountability. Vehicles registered to police officers are under close scrutiny as investigations continue.
The timeline of events shows the killers relied heavily on the vehicle to navigate between surveillance points captured on CCTV. Authorities say this mobility was key to executing their plan.
KTN reports that investigators are also cross-checking mobile phone records, CCTV footage, and eyewitness testimonies to link the vehicle to specific individuals.
The revelation has fueled public concern over insider involvement in the MP’s assassination. Citizens and political leaders are demanding transparency and swift justice for Ong’ondo Were’s family.
Police have appealed to the public to share any additional information on the vehicle or its movements. Investigators believe community cooperation could help identify accomplices in the case.
Law enforcement sources caution that the probe is ongoing and sensitive. Analysts note that linking a high-profile police officer’s vehicle to the crime could have far-reaching implications for accountability.
