DCI unmasks 12 women suspects in Samuel Muvota's 'mchele' syndicate

Detectives have exposed the faces of 12 women slain fraudster Samuel Muvota allegedly enlisted their services in stupefying revellers before robbing them. 

The women are suspected to have been targeting middle-aged to older men at popular drinking spots and spiked their drinks before emptying their bank accounts. 

They identified their victims by the brands of the drinks they ordered to how they dressed.

Most of them have been arrested before but Muvota would always bail them out by approaching the complainants and refunding them their money.

However, most of the cases went unreported as the drugged men were mainly married and respected people in society and did not wish to be identified.

With Muvota gone after the bitter fallout with his second in command who is currently at large, the criminal empire has been left without a leader.

Most of the women have left the city in droves to their rural areas, from where they are monitoring how things are unfolding.

"They better get used to life in the village because it will not be business as usual in the city," DCI boss George Kinoti said.

Bar owners are equally advised to be on the lookout for suspicious women out to spike drinks in entertainment spots and report to authorities immediately.
