Detectives investigating businessman Jacob Juma’s murder are going through his phones for clues to the killing.
They want to establish Juma’s last conversations and movements before his murder on he Southern Bypass. Juma was killed on Thursday night near the gate of Lenana School on his way to his Karen home. His car was sprayed with 10 bullets by attackers who fled on a motorcycle.
Juma’s two phones, golden Rolex watch and Sh6,500 were among the personal effects found in the car after the shooting. The team investigating the murder has been expanded to include officers from the DCI headquarters. Detectives from the Homicide section will be joined by officers from the Karen CID, with backup from the Flying Squad and Special Crimes Prevention Unit.
Homicide investigators at the weekend recorded the statements of Juma’s wife Mariamu Wairimu. CID commanders from across the different police divisions in Nairobi have been asked to collect CCTV footage from areas where Juma is suspected to have driven through from Westlands to the Bypass, where he was killed. Investigators want to see if there was any vehicle captured on camera trailing Juma. Yesterday, officers from the above units met at the Nairobi county CID offices.
