Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested three suspects linked to the murder of Kilifi County IEBC official Aisha Abubakar, who was killed on January 5, 2025.
The suspects, Isa Omari, Brian Shikuku Mudari, and Bryan Templer Oyare, were apprehended during coordinated operations in the coastal region after a week-long manhunt.
Several items connected to the crime, including a stolen phone belonging to the victim’s son and other critical evidence, were recovered during the arrests.
The attack occurred at Ms. Abubakar’s home around 3AM when the suspects broke in, fatally assaulted her, and injured her son.
They stole various valuables, including two Samsung phones, an iPad, a 65-inch TV, a sound system, and ATM cards, for which they had demanded PINs.
Despite efforts to save her, Ms. Abubakar was pronounced dead upon arrival at Premier Hospital in Nyali.
The DCI has confirmed that investigations into the matter are ongoing to ensure justice is served.
