Investigators Release Photos of Kevin Kangethe, the Man Suspected of Murdering Margaret Mbitu

Investigators in Massachusetts have released photos of 40-year-old Kevin Kangethe, who is wanted for the murder of 31-year-old Margaret Mbitu in Whitman, MA.

One of the photos released on Friday (below), was captured on security cameras on Wednesday at Logan Airport as Kangethe fled for Kenya, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office.

Margaret was found dead with stab wounds in the front passenger seat of a car at Boston Logan Airport on Thursday, two days after her family reported her missing. Investigators believe Kangethe stabbed Margaret several times before dumping her body at the airport’s Central parking garage and boarding a flight to Kenya.

Margaret’s mother told the media that her daughter was dating Kangethe, but that Margaret was trying to break off the relationship.

Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden says authorities in Massachusetts are working with Kenyan authorities to apprehend Kangethe and bring justice to Margaret’s family.

We urge this suspect to turn himself in to authorities before he or anyone else gets hurt. We are making every effort possible to apprehend him and to begin the process of seeking justice for Margaret Mbitu and those mourning her tragic death,” the DA said in a statement.
