Kevin Kangethe extradited to US to face murder charges

The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has secured the extradition of Kevin Kang'ethe to face murder charges in the United States.

Kang'ethe is accused of killing Margaret Mbitu on October 31, 2023.

He is scheduled to appear before Suffolk Superior Court in Boston on September 3.

The DPP said Kang'ethe left Nairobi for Boston on September 1.

 In a statement on Monday, September 2, DPP Renson Ingonga expressed his office's commitment to the case.

“I wish to reiterate my commitment and support whenever needed to the United States and in particular the prosecution team as they proceed with the next phase of the case,” he said.

“To the family of the late Margaret Mbitu, we offer our support and prayers,” he added.

 Kang'ethe fled to Kenya after the alleged murder and was apprehended by authorities.

He had been held at Muthaiga Police Station but escaped custody on Wednesday, February 7, at about 7:30 p.m., reportedly fleeing in a waiting matatu.

Nairobi Police boss Adamson Bungei confirmed the incident and visited the station, ordering the arrest of the four officers who were on duty when the escape occurred.

“We have the four officers in custody plus the suspect’s lawyer; we will brief the press later today on the developments,” said Bungei.

 Kang'ethe was later arrested from his hiding place in Ngong, Kajiado County.
