“He was never at Fourways junction,” stated the detective.
DCIO Obed Kiio, who spoke to the media house at Juja Police Station, affirmed that call data obtained from Safaricom indicated that Kori, who is one of the main suspects in the case, was not at the scene.
Further investigations stated that a review of the CCTV footage at Fourways showed that the car of husband to the deceased was nowhere in the residence.
