“Upon visiting the crime scene, detectives discovered that the safe previously secured with screws in a wardrobe had been expertly unscrewed and stolen.
Through forensic-led intelligence, Akinyi was smoked out of her hideout in Kawangware’s bustling Congo Maumau area, bringing the chase to an end.
A search of her residence uncovered a trove of stolen items, including 29 one-hundred-dollar notes, assorted Indian Rupees, perfumes, and women’s purses all traced back to her employer.
Further, Akinyi confessed to discarding the ransacked safe in the murky depths of River Maumau. With help from local divers, detectives managed to retrieve the safe from the riverbed only to find it emptied of its contents.” said DCI
Meanwhile the suspect is currently in custody before he is arraigned in court with the items collected set to be used as exhibits.
