Police Inspector General Douglas Kanja revealed that new leads have been obtained, giving hope that those behind the gruesome murder will soon be brought to justice.
Speaking during a TV interview on Monday evening, the police boss said that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) had been directed to fast-track the probe.
He noted that officers were following critical clues but avoided giving exact timelines, saying investigators needed time to gather enough evidence.
“Investigations are ongoing. I instructed the DCI to move with speed, and that’s exactly what they are doing. We are pursuing very useful leads,” said Kanja.
Although three individuals had initially been arrested, they were later released after questioning. Kanja explained that they remained persons of interest and detectives were still monitoring their movements.
He also urged Kenyans, especially witnesses, to step forward with any information that might help trace the killers.
DCI Director Mohamed Amin echoed the Inspector General’s remarks, stressing that the case was being handled by a specialized homicide team. He said the investigators were committed to solving the case, describing it as a matter of national importance.
“We have already picked up solid leads, and my team is still analyzing evidence. While three people linked to the case were released after interrogation, we are not ruling out their involvement. Arresting the killers remains a top priority,” Amin explained.
Meanwhile, sources close to the investigation disclosed that detectives had questioned at least seven individuals, including the lawyer’s close relatives, staff members, and friends.
Reports indicate that Mbobu had spoken to several people, including colleagues, on the day of his murder. Detectives have also collected documents from his office that may shed light on possible motives.
One of the individuals questioned is a company director who had been in a legal dispute with the lawyer.
Although not considered a suspect at the moment, investigators believe the information gathered could help narrow down the search for the killers.
