    "content": "The police later traced the minibus and the driver in Kayole Estate. The minibus and the driver were escorted to Ruiru Police Station where the driver, Simon Chege Wanderi, was placed in cells to help with investigations and the motor vehicle was also detained. In his statement to the police, the driver stated that on 28th December 2010, he decided to catch on the Christmas season and did one trip to Murang’a returning to Nairobi the same day in the afternoon. He further alleged that he did not stop anywhere near Clayworks. The statement of the driver was corroborated by that of the conductor; Julius Irungu Ngugi alias Maina, who presented himself to the police. The driver was, however, released for lack of evidence to link him to the murder. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kenneth Waitwika Irungu, who is also a cousin to the deceased person, was summoned to CID, Ruiru. In his statement, he alleged that he had boarded the same bus with the deceased from Kahuro to Nairobi. He made the same allegations of a fight as he had made to Thomas Gicere Mwangi. He also claimed that he was a teacher by profession at Emole Primary School, although he could neither remember his TSC number nor the address of the school. He claimed it was located in Garissa County although in actual fact, the school is located in Mandera County. Further, during investigations, the deceased persons had no other physical injuries as claimed by the cousin. The conductor as well did not have any injuries as claimed. (b) I cannot provide the identities of any police officers allegedly contacted by the matatu crew as such evidence linking police to the matatu crew has not been presented yet. (c) A Ruiru Inquest File No.47/2010 was opened and the matter is under investigation by officers from CID Headquarters, Nairobi. Appropriate action will be taken once investigations are complete."
