The Director of criminal investigation DCI has identified the suspect in the murder of Nairobi Hospital Finance Director Eric Maigo as A teenage girl who completed her Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) in 2021.

The 40-year-old victim was discovered with 25 stab wounds in a pool of blood at his Woodley Estate residence in Nairobi on Friday 15th September 2023.

The DCI revealed that the image of the suspect shared on social media had led them to the clothes worn by the suspect, in Kibra.

The recovered items, a red checkered shirt and a grey pair of animal-print pants, were found in a semi-permanent wooden shack in Bombolulu village.

The suspect is a girl aged between 15-17 years named Ann Adhiambo alias Nuts.

"The suspect who has since been identified as Ann Adhiambo alias Nut, is currently on the run and is believed to be between 15 to 17 years old. She is said to have sat her KCPE examination at the Dagoretti-approved school between 2021 and 2022," the DCI tweeted Friday.

This development follows the DCI’s previous appeal for public information about the suspects. The DCI had circulated CCTV footage of the suspect, captured leaving the victim’s residence.

According to detectives, the suspect fled the scene through the back door after committing the crime.

Two blood-stained knives, believed to be the murder weapons, were recovered at the crime scene.
