Published on July 13, 2021, a multi-agency team comprising of the police, military, and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has been formed to hunt down Corporal Caroline Kangogo, a fugitive police officer.
The team has intensified its search on major highways, including the Nairobi-Nakuru-Eldoret and the Nairobi-Mombasa highways, as well as surveilling hotels and means of communication.
According to a senior detective with the DCI Special Service Unit, the team has expanded its hunt to major highways, hotels, lodges, and other places where Kangogo could be hiding.
Ms Kangogo has been on the run for over a week after she shot dead two men on Sunday, July 4, and Monday.
Nakuru County Criminal Investigations Officer Anthony Sunguti stated that it was difficult to trace Kangogo because she dumped her mobile phone.
"The suspect has switched off her phone so that police cannot track her moves. However, our teams have stepped up their hunt for her," said Mr Sunguti.
He further denied reports circulating on social media that Kangogo was traced to Nakuru and later Eldoret.
"I have seen some information circulating on social media that Kangogo was traced to Kenlands in Nakuru and later in Eldoret. That is untrue," he said.
