In a sting operation mounted by Special Service Unit (SSU) detectives, Mganga was finally cornered yesterday at around 10:30 am.
He had previously escaped a police dragnet prompting the DCI to unleash the elite Special Service Unit for his manhunt.
The cold-blooded murders of the three had left more questions than answers in the minds of their kin, with some of Kazungu’s family members alleging that their kin was murdered by people well known to him.
It was established that the three were on a land-buying mission in the area and had toured a piece of land that Sidik intended to buy before they were attacked by a machete-wielding mob that butchered them to death.
According to eyewitnesses, Kazungu had pleaded with the attackers in their local Giriama dialect begging them to spare their lives, but the assailants who were determined to eliminate them would hear none of his pleas.
