Detectives are hunting for a relative suspected to have orchestrated the murder of the Kiambu family.
Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officers believe the suspect ushered in the attackers and participated in the killing of Nicholas Njoroge, his wife Ann, two children and a construction worker.
“This explains why there was no alarm by the family. We noted that there was no forced entry into the compound and we suspect that whoever it was must have had the keys to the two gates,” said a senior officer privy to the matter.

A land transaction that America-based nurse Nicholas Njoroge Warunge was undertaking before his brutal murder is the focus of investigations.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) will also revisit a 2018 incident where Njoroge’s brother was shot and injured by gunmen.
The police want to establish if there is any link to the past attack and the murder of the 55-year-old nurse and his family at their home in Karura, Kiambu County, on Tuesday night.
