The woman told police she was carjacked and abandoned at Kamandura on the Narok Nairobi highway hours after Muchai and his aides were killed. She, together with a female passenger, were questioned on Monday and yesterday.Apart from the women, more than 10 people including witnesses of the attack have been questioned.
They include two street children who witnessed it, Muchai's family and attendants at the bar where he was before his death. The women said they spent almost six hours in the car's boot and they at one point heard gunshots at unspecified place within the city. Police have concluded the gunshots were at the murder scene.
Senior police officers at Kikuyu police station are now under investigation after they released the car to the owner on Sunday without conducting a thorough forensic analysis. This, police said, led to loss of evidence through fingerprints being erased which could have helped identify the killers.
The officers reportedly took brief statements from the women and released the car to them without dusting it, after the victims told them they were not interested in pursuing the case because they had recovered the vehicle. The car was later picked up by p olice from its owner on Monday evening after witnesses at the shooting incident said the vehicle used by the attackers resembled a Probox and was white.
