A Kenyan man accused of murdering his girlfriend in the United States last October has been extradited to Massachusetts and will appear in court tomorrow to face a first-degree murder charge.
The tragic incident occurred between October 30 and November 1, 2023, when Ms Mbitu, a home health care aide, was reported missing shortly after leaving her workplace in Halifax. The subsequent investigation led to the discovery of her body in the front passenger seat of Mr Kang'ethe's Toyota Venza on November 1, 2023, with evidence indicating that she had suffered multiple stab wounds to her face and neck. Following the brutal crime, Mr Kang'ethe fled the United States and returned to Kenya, where a warrant for his arrest was issued by a District Court in Chelsea, Massachusetts.
This initiated a complex extradition process supported by the collaboration between the two nations to ensure justice for Ms Mbitu. After evading authorities for several months, Mr Kang'ethe was arrested on January 30, 2024, in Parklands, Nairobi County. However, his subsequent escape from custody at Muthaiga Police Station raised questions about the security measures and protocols for handling high-profile criminal suspects in Kenya. The response from Mr Kang'ethe's relatives was unusual, as they resolved to report him to the authorities if he attempted to contact them.
“There was no way we could allow him to leave again because his escape from the station was putting a lot of people in trouble. Since we are law abiding citizens, we had long made the decision that if anyone gets him, then we shall hand him over,” a family member told the Nation at the time.
The manhunt concluded when he was located at his cousin's rented house, where family members, honouring their agreement, alerted the police thus leading to his capture in Ngong after a five-day pursuit. The extradition of Mr Kang'ethe to Massachusetts on September 2, 2024, marks a crucial step in the legal proceedings against him. The Kenyan Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) played a pivotal role in this process, with DPP Renson Ingonga engaging in discussions with US law enforcement officials to expeditiously bring Mr Kang'ethe to trial. His trial is set to begin with a first-degree murder charge, a serious offence that could lead to substantial legal consequences if he is found guilty.

Kabogo/Wanjiru Kangethe’s relatives saved him from a group of “sperm pumpers” which was also searching for him(for some discussion)at Ngandu area-around 2km from his cousin’s house.But that won’t save him from his SOUZA-BARANOWSKl prison cell-mates whose siblings have been killed by their lovers.ATAKATAKATWO VIPANDE VIPANDE na atupiwe Tumbuzi/Tai/vultures/Raila ikiwa chakula yao.
I read somewhere that he had killed another person but his mother billed him out.
One of the country that I wished I would one day reside and taste the goodies of freedom and justice, was the States. After studying extensively world geography with the emphancy in physical geography in the then "A" education system, I would virtually criss-cross the Appalachians, The Rockies, The Great Lakes, Wheat Belts, corn belts,The Susquehanna river, and an organisational administrative structures that changed with an entrance of a new govt. Africa, and Kenya in particular system of governance was always designed to benefit individual greed, as witnessed during the five govts. As a result, justice was very evasive, and only the poor and vulnerable were sent to jail, leaving thieves like Kenyatta and his cronies, Moi, uhuru and Ruto to escape jail time. And that's how Kevin Kang'ethe planned and executed this heinous crime, hoping he would use Maggie's nest egg to escape justice, and corrupt Kenyan police and lawyers to go scot free. Now lets watch the beauty of the American justice system where they will always be sure before they accuse you of anything. Two or one life prison without the possibility of parole is beckoning. A being inmates wife is a reality.
Every country has it own form of corruption. Slavery was a form of corruption. Lobbyist groups is a form of bribing groups. Racism is a form of corruption. Police brutality is a form of corruption. Mass incarceration of black men. Prisons for profit.
All those you described happen to the hungry billionaire Kenyans.20m+grownup slaves feed a group of less than 4000.How can you justify nominating 850 prostitutes to sexually service a group of elite gangsters?Tribalism replaces racism etc evil in Kenya.

*Slow poison! Kill the Women slowly (and Nobody will Ever know the Real cause). Or Tit-for-Tat and Kill the Women; and Throw them in Septic tanks like it "Happened one Mzungu in KENYA not very Long ago (and the Killer woman is Walking free as We speak).
A very dangerous criminal who should never have a chance to be in the streets ever again!!!
