Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) say Kangethe was arrested in Ngong town, Kajiado county where he had gone to visit his cousin.

41-year-old Kangethe, a former resident of Lowell, Massachusetts, is wanted in the US over the murder of his ex-girlfriend Margaret Mbitu on October 31, 2023. Police in Massachusetts say Kangethe murdered Margaret then abandoned her body at Boston Logan International Airport before fleeing to Kenya.

Kangethe had been in custody at Muthaiga Police Station since January 30 before escaping last week under mysterious circumstances. He is waiting extradition to the US to face murder charges.

    How far did he think he could get? The easiest and best escape would have been suicide, but it's too late for that option now.

    Wahemga walimena, "Mbio za sakafuni, huishia ukingoni" wazee wa kale wakanena. Namshukuru babake Kang'ethe kwa kutenda yale Mjuaji angeliyatenda si shani. Unatoa uhai wa Malkia Mbitu, binti aliyejikakamua kusoma kwa bidii aifikie ndoto aliokusudia. Ungaliniomba ushauri, ningekushauri ujipige risasi kichwani au ujirushe kwenye maporomoko ya maji ya Niagara, lakini ulipenda kuishi matamu bila kupitia uchungu wowote.
    Sasa mashtaka mengine ndio haya:
    1. Kuua kwa kusudia, kinyume cha sheria.
    2. Kuhatarisha maisha ya binadamu.
    3. Kusombwa na nia na fikra potovu ya kusababisha majeraha sugu bila huruma.
    4. Kutoroka kutoka mwahali na eneo la uhalifu.
    5. Kutofahamisha asasi husika kuhusu uhalifu uliotenda kwa kujua, kilicho kinyume maksusi za sheria za Marekani.
    6. Kufikiria, kupanga, na kutekeleza njama za kuua binadamu asiyekuwa na hatia.
    7. Kutorokea nchi nyingine kwa kujua ili marehemu na familoa yake wasipate haki inayostahili.
    8. Kuacha mwili wa marehemu kwenye gari na kuifunga ukifahamu kinaga ubaga kwamba ni kinyume cha idara ya afya.
    9. Kutumia chombo au kifaa butu kama silaha na kusababisha kifo cha binti Mbitu.
    10. Kutoroka kwenye kituo cha rumande ulikokuwa umzuiliwa kisheria.
    Nina hakika kuwa hutaweza kujinasuru hapa. Kama utakuwa na bahati Bw. Kange'the, utapata miaka mia moja ishirini na vifungo vitatu vya maisha, bila uwezekano wa kufunguliwa huru.
    Mle humo ndani, utang'eng'aniwa na majahiri kam wewe wasio na chochote cha kupoteza, ukiwa kama mke wao halali.

    Extradite this fool ASAP. Since he wants to act as a fugitive put him with the gangs. Atakuwa bibi ya mtu.

  10. KenyaFeb 14, 2024

    He want to say he was insane. Mob justice before he get away with murder.

  11. Ex diasporanFeb 14, 2024

    If I were Kangethe, I would head to Kangari and become a tea picker.No friends, beer and phones.

    If you murder someone in the US, dump the body in the park, or in the river. Don't dump the body at the airport.

    You can run but not hide.Hope the Kenyan police give it you in buckets for embarassing them. It is nothing compared to what you will face once you are convicted in the USA.Enjoy your free time and lone cell in remand .You are about to become a girly man among other things including sharing a cell with crazies
