According to DCI, the modus operandi of the gang was studied by officers based at the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau who established that it operated from Githurai.

Keagan, who recently graduated from Strathmore University with a degree in Information Technology, was stabbed on the chest by the thugs while fleeing after stealing his mobile phone.

DCI says its officers are continuing with their operation to apprehend more members of the said criminal gang in Githurai area and other parts of Nairobi City County in upscaled efforts to curtail an upsure in the number of criminal gangs terrorizing residents.
