Detectives attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have made a major step towards bringing to book the main suspect in the murder of Eric Maigo.

Until his gruesome murder on Friday last week, 36-year-old Maigo was the acting finance director at Nairobi Hospital.

The DCI in a statement on Friday, a week after Maigo was murdered in his Woodley estate, Nairobi home, said they have the name and possible age of the main suspect.

DCI says the suspect is one Ann Adhiambo alias Nut, who is interestingly aged between 15 and 17.

"The suspect who has since been identified as Ann Adhiambo alias Nut, is currently on the run and is believed to be between 15 to 17 years old. She is said to have sat her KCPE examination at the Dagoretti approved school between 2021 and 2022," said the agency.

"Detectives have recovered clothes believed to have been worn by the main suspect during the cold blooded murder of Nairobi Hospital’s Acting Finance Director Eric Maigo, last Friday on September 15, 2023. The clothes a red checkered shirt and a grey pair of animal-print pants were found in a semi-permarnent wooden shack in Bombolulu village, deep inside the sprawling Kibira settlement."

The revelation comes a day after DCI released photos of the person believed to be the suspect.

In one of the pictures captured by CCTV cameras, the suspect is seen scalling the perimeter wall of the victim's residence.
