Police have arrested three suspects in connection with an explosion that rocked Jomo Kenyatta International Airport last week.
However, Directorate of Criminal Investigations chief Ndegwa Muhoro on Sunday said the main suspect, who had hired the vehicle in which a man of Somali origin was found shot dead, is still at large.
Among the suspects arrested in Nairobi’s Eastleigh estate is the owner of the vehicle, a silver Toyota Avensis, and he has provided documents that would help with the investigations.
“We are yet to decide whether they will be arraigned in court. Investigations are still ongoing,” said Mr Muhoro.
The body of the middle aged man was found on blood-soaked rear seat of the bullet-riddled vehicle that was found parked at Shauri Moyo shopping centre at 11pm on Thursday.
The vehicle’s rear tyres were completely damaged.
Detectives are investigating whether the deceased was behind the explosion.
Witnesses told police that two men of Somali origin had alighted from the car and escaped on a motor cycle.
Police found three SIM cards and a cup belonging to the Java Coffee shop in the car— an indication that occupants had visited one of the restaurant’s outlets.
