Kipyegon Kenei was killed by one bullet on his chin that exited through his head. His body had started to decompose as he had died three days before his recovery.
This is according to government pathologist.
Kenei was scheduled to become a high-level witness in the investigations into the saga.
He had been expected to record a statement with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.
He may have lived in the small bedsitter off Mombasa Road, where his lifeless body was found, they say, but when he was not in his police uniform, he was ever neatly shaven and in nice suits.
His coat lapel always sported the Kenyan flag. He was an ambitious young man as well. In just 13 years he had risen to be a sergeant within the police force and in charge of security at the DP’s office.
His key responsibility was clearing visitors before they are allowed to access the premises, one of the most guarded government installations in the country.
Kenei was on duty on February 13, the day former Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa accessed the DP’s office and allegedly issued a fake Sh39 billion military arms contract to two foreigners.
It’s said that a day before his disappearance Kenei was seen having a lengthy conversation with former CS for sports Rashid Echesa. This placed Echesa as a high witness of the detectives.
The DCI had arrived at the conclusion that Kenei was drugged and murdered and did not commit suicide as earlier claimed.
Ruto termed the Murder of Kenei and the fake arms deal as a ploy to taint his office. He alleged a planned orchestration by the ‘system’ to paint his office as a crime scene.
However, the murder of Kenei shocks many netizens as it means, he had a bombshell that would send those involved to jail. To preempt his revelations, they had to murder the sergeant.
It’s also possible that he had damning evidence to nail the Deputy President and those involved in the deal.
The investigators are however yet to reveal if the DP will be questioned in the same case.
Very heavy stones will have to be lifted to get to the bottom of Sergent Kenei’s death. The key question is “what did Kenei see or hear. And when did he see or hear it”.
