NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 17- The prime suspect behind last week’s grisly murder of four men in Kitengela, has been arrested by detectives.
Benson Melonyie ole Mungai, 40, was arrested from his hideout in Kitengela town on Monday evening.
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations headquarters said he has been hiding since he masterminded the killings.
His arrest comes a few days after DCI took over investigations into the murders.
The DCI said Ole Mungai was positively linked into the brutal killings after forensic investigations placed him at the scene of the crime, where it was established that he led and coordinated the killing of the four.
Detectives are in pursuit of the rest of the killers, as Ole Mungai remains in custody to assist with further investigations.
Among those killed were two brothers Fredrick Muriithi and Victor Mwangi.
They were in the company of their friends Mike George and Nicholas Musa.
Initial reports indicated they were mistaken for being criminals.
