Waithaka released after 6-year Sentence
Waithaka was recently released from prison after serving a 6-year sentence for a similar offense, according to DCI.
In a separate incident on September 29, the armed thugs accosted four Dutch tourists outside a Silver Harbour apartment along Kindaruma road . They robbed them of their mobile phones, cash, and jewelry before escaping towards Ngong road on a motorbike, whose plate numbers were concealed.
“As they made their escape, the thugs fired two shots in the air to scare off members of the public who had responded to the distress call by the besieged tourists,” wrote DCI on Twitter.
“The Dutch tourists were waiting to board a tour van to Nairobi National Park when the thugs stuck in the 8 a.m incident.”
After his arrest, Waithaka led the detectives to his house in Wangige, Kiambu county. “where crucial exhibits related to the robbery incidents were recovered and documented,” said DCI.
