The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Homicide Directorate has assumed control of the investigation into the brutal murder of 44-year-old Rael Cherop Biwott, whose dismembered body parts were discovered in various locations across Nandi and Uasin Gishu counties on June 24 and June 27, 2024.<\/p>\n
Biwott, a mother of four, was reported missing by her husband, Francis Mwangi Ndirangu, 24 hours after she left her workplace on June 22.<\/p>\n
She was a Senior Accountant Assistant in the billing section at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital.<\/p>\n
Ndirangu, the prime suspect in the heinous crime, claimed that Biwott went missing after they had breakfast together on June 23.<\/p>\n
However, this statement was contradicted by testimonies from their children and a co-accused.<\/p>\n
Homicide detectives, working alongside their Kapseret counterparts, have established that Biwott left her workplace shortly before 7 PM on June 22, accompanied by her husband.<\/p>\n
Contrary to Ndirangu\u2019s claim that they took a matatu home, CCTV footage confirmed they left in a Toyota Succeed rented by Ndirangu.<\/p>\n
Biwott never arrived home.<\/p>\n
The first discovery of Biwott\u2019s dismembered body parts was made around noon on June 24, when they were found stashed in a gunny bag beside a road in Kapsilegaa village, Nandi County.<\/p>\n
Later that day, her head and upper limbs were discovered beside a road in Lamaiywet village, Uasin Gishu County.<\/p>\n
It was only after this discovery that Ndirangu reported her missing at Eldoret Police Station at 6:40 PM.<\/p>\n
On June 27, Biwott\u2019s remaining body parts, including her legs and internal organs, were found in a clear polythene bag beside a road in Mutwot village, Nandi County.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
An autopsy conducted in the presence of Ndirangu, family members, and two advocates revealed that Biwott had suffered severe neck injuries and blunt force trauma to the head.<\/p>\n
Due to the inconsistencies in Ndirangu\u2019s account and the overwhelming circumstantial evidence implicating him, he was arrested along with a suspected accomplice.<\/p>\n
Both have been arraigned, and custodial orders have been granted to allow detectives to complete their investigation.<\/p>\n
The case is scheduled for mention at the Eldoret court on July 11, 2024.<\/p>\n
