Sources intimated that he was to travel in the company of a close friend and neighbour only identified as Jamal.
Citizen TV reported that detectives are keen to establish if the main suspects in the killing, Robert Ouko Bodo and Chris Obure were aware of and had interest in the deal.
It is Obure’s gun that sent the bullet through Omwenga’s chest, killing him instantly.
The journey however failed to materialize as he met a controversial death that is the subject of investigations.
