On April 21, 2020, three police officers were summoned to the DCI headquarters for interrogation over the murder of Sergeant Kenei, who was found dead at his house in Nairobi.
The officers, attached to the office of Deputy President William Ruto, are expected to appear at the DCI on Wednesday for questioning.
The murder of Sergeant Kenei has been linked to investigations into the Sh40 billion fake arms deal scandal, with sources privy to the probe suggesting that Kenei was supposed to be off duty when former CS Rashid Echesa and other suspects visited Ruto's office.
According to the detectives, the data retrieved from Kenei's mobile phone has allowed them to narrow down their probe to key suspects who might have executed the murder.
"We are piecing together events from the statements, witnesses and what has been collected from the phone to understand how the crime was committed as well as anyone who took part," an officer privy to investigations said.
The data obtained includes the last calls, people who were close to him during that time, and the details of the communications.
"They recovered the data and are now looking at the last calls, the details of the calls and they intend to build a strong case against the suspects," another officer said.
