Police have arrested the third suspect in connection to the heinous murder of the Rwanda-based businessman George Mwangi who was married to Kiambu politician Gladys Chania.

The police arrested the suspect identified as John Muikiriria Mwangi who went missing on the same day Mwangi disappeared at Karinga location in Gatundu South, Sub-county.

His arrest brings the number of suspects who have been arrested so far in connection to Mwangi’s murder to three.

Muikiriria’s arrest came following thorough investigations by detectives from the homicide department who took over Mwangi’s murder investigations.

What raised a red flag for the detectives was the fact that Chania, who is the prime suspect in the murder, employed Muikiriria on October 8, 2022, just a day before Mwangi’s disappearance.
