The deceased lover filed a missing person report after she failed to reach him on phone, explaining that she was initially cautious about calling his lover due to a previous dress down by his wife.

Detectives have since arrested the Kiambu politician who is suspected of colluding with some of their casual labourers to execute the murder.
