DPP Renson Ingonga has secured approval for the extradition of Kevin Kang’ethe to the US to face murder charges.

Kevin is set to appear before Suffolk Superior Court in Boston tomorrow.

He was arrested in Westlands on January 30 ,2024 and was to be extradited when he escaped from custody.

Kang'ethe, 40 is facing charges in connection with the death of Margaret Mbitu on October 31, 2023.



Massachusetts State Police said in early November 2023, Kang'ethe  left Mbitu's body in a car at Logan International Airport and boarded a flight to Kenya.

Massachusetts officials said they were working with Kenyan authorities to locate him.

He was later arrested in a nightclub on January 30 after being on the run for three months.


On February 7, 2024 Kang'ethe slipped out of a police station cell and jumped into a matatu and escaped towards Thika.

He was later re-arrested.

Kang'ethe had renounced his U.S. citizenship, which prompted the extradition process.
