Police have arrested a suspect linked to the brutal murder of Willis Onyango Ayieko, the former Human Resource Manager at Wells Fargo. Authorities identified the suspect as Victor Ouma Okoth, apprehending him in Nairobi’s Dandora Phase IV area. Okoth had allegedly used proceeds from the crime to rent the hideout where he was captured.

The investigation was conducted by a joint team of detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), including members from the Homicide, Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau (CRIB), and Operations units. Forensic evidence played a crucial role in identifying Okoth as a suspect, with authorities confirming that the analysis placed him at the crime scene. According to a DCI statement, “The forensic examination has yielded significant evidence linking Okoth to the murder.”

Currently, Okoth is held at Muthaiga Police Station as investigators pursue additional leads and work to determine whether other individuals were involved. Police are seeking public assistance in the ongoing investigation and urge anyone with relevant information to come forward anonymously via the DCI’s toll-free hotline at 0800 722 203.

The investigation covers both murder and robbery with violence, as evidence suggests that the perpetrators withdrew money from Ayieko’s mobile account using mobile banking. Two Mpesa agents from Siaya County have been questioned as part of the probe, with detectives hoping to trace individuals who withdrew at least KES 100,000 from various locations in Siaya between October 19 and 20.

Ayieko’s body was discovered on October 23 in Mungowere stream, Yala, Siaya County, after he had been reported missing by his family. Authorities found his half-naked body showing signs of torture, with bruises on his face and stomach suggesting he had been dragged along a rough surface. The autopsy also revealed wrist bruising from cuffs, indicating Ayieko was restrained.

The report further highlighted signs of post-mortem animal activity, with parts of the body consumed. “There was bleeding in the brain, along with bruises on the wrists caused by cuffs,” Chief Government Pathologist Dr. Johansen Oduor noted. He added, “We observed missing tissues on the mouth, ear, and cheek, with a dead crab found on the clothes. We believe animals targeted the softer parts of the body.”
