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.
