Four In Court For Stealing Millions From Dead People
Four suspects were Tuesday arraigned in court for stealing from the dead in a suspected syndicate where they swap sim cards to steal money from bank accounts of deceased people.
In the first file, suspects Muguna Mutembei and Ayugu Eugene Shivachi were charged with 12 counts of stealing Sh.2.2 million from Amos Ngata Muiruri.
Ngata died following a botched surgery at a local hospital on November 22, 2020, with the suspects allegedly stealing the money from his accounts at KCB, Equity Bank, and NCBA.
Police investigations revealed that barely a week after Ngata was buried on December 2, 2020, one of his sons discovered that his father’s phone which he used for mobile bank transactions had suddenly gone offline.
