The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has launched an intensive nationwide manhunt for a man accused of brutally killing his wife and two daughters in Samburu Central Sub-County. The suspect, who has been on the run since the night of September 27, 2025, is wanted in connection with the tragic incident that took place in the Yare area.
According to investigators, the man returned home late that night to their rented house along the Maralal–Nyahururu road, where a domestic dispute allegedly turned violent. The confrontation escalated, leading to the deaths of his spouse and their two young children. The suspect fled the scene immediately after the attack, sparking outrage and grief within the local community.
Detectives have described the killings as brutal and deeply disturbing. A multi-agency team has been deployed across several counties in an effort to track down the fugitive. Despite extensive intelligence operations, the man has managed to evade capture for more than a week. Preliminary findings suggest he may have sought refuge in remote areas as authorities tighten the search.
The DCI has appealed to members of the public to assist in locating the suspect by providing any information that could lead to his arrest. Citizens are urged to report anonymously through the #FichuaKwaDCI hotline or contact the nearest police station. The agency has assured that all tips and leads will be handled with the utmost confidentiality to protect the identity of informants.
Officials have reiterated their commitment to ensuring justice for the victims, emphasizing that the manhunt remains one of the agency’s top priorities. The case has also drawn attention to the growing concern over gender-based violence (GBV) across the country, with authorities calling for community vigilance and early intervention to prevent similar tragedies.
As the investigation continues, security agencies remain confident that the suspect will soon be apprehended and held accountable for the heinous act. The DCI has thanked the public for its continued cooperation and encouraged anyone with relevant information to reach out through its toll-free line or WhatsApp number.
The nationwide pursuit underscores the agency’s dedication to upholding justice and safeguarding families from domestic violence-related crimes.
