Homicide detectives in Kenya have arrested Richard Gikuhe Mbugua, the prime suspect in the murder of TUK lecturer Edgar Mokua, after forensic evidence linked a grey Toyota Ractis to the crime. The vehicle, registered KBZ 002R, was reportedly used to dump Mokua’s body at the scene before the suspect sped away and has since been detained as an exhibit. Mokua disappeared on July 6 after leaving his Lavington home, with family reporting him missing to Muthangari Police Station, and his body was later found near Woodcreek Academy and moved to the Nairobi City Mortuary. Investigators traced Mokua’s final movements to a night at Kettle Club and Ibiza Club in Lavington before his disappearance, with the forensics tying the vehicle to the scene and leading to the arrest. The suspect is in police custody pending arraignment as investigations continue, and detectives say the case remains under active inquiry to determine motive and whether others were involved. The case has been marked as a high-profile homicide investigated by the DCI, with the vehicle and suspect both held as key exhibits.
