New reports on the murder probe of sergeant Kipyegon Kenei have indicated that detectives have identified nine persons of interest in the Kenei murder probe.

Detectives are looking forward to questioning persons of interest in the brutal murder of the murder of sergeant Kipyegon Kenei.

Kenei was killed just as the DCI was probing a Ksh39 billion arms deal that saw meetings held at the Deputy President's Harambee Annex office.



According to the Standard newspaper, detectives concluded that Kenei was drugged and murdered by people probably known to him.

Detectives are also mulling over the possibility that Kenei could have been murdered elsewhere and his body dumped in his house where it was found on February 20.

Kenyans have mounted pressure on detectives to establish who killed Kenei and what was the motive.

Kenei was found dead in his house at Villa Franca in Imara Daima the same day he was expected to record a statement with the DCI over the Sh39.5 fake military arms deal.

He was buried on Saturday at their home in Nakuru. He left behind a widow and two kids with the firstborn being in high school.
