Two Suspects Wanted in the UK for Murder Arrested in Nairobi
Detectives in Nairobi on Wednesday arrested two suspects who are wanted in the United Kingdom over murder.
The two, Mohamud Siyad Abdihakim (24) and Tariq Kennedy Mangal (21), were apprehended in Nairobi’s upmarket Kilimani area, where they have been hiding since sneaking into the country in 2019.
They were arrested by sleuths from the Transnational and Organized Crimes Unit of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) following intelligence leads.
Abdihakim was smoked out of his hideout at AL-DAR apartments while his accomplice was picked from house number A803 in Mideya Gardens.
British authorities have been looking for the two fugitives to answer to murder charges following the brutal killing of a young man, who was stabbed and left for dead in the UK.
The suspects are currently being processed at DCI headquarters before being extradited to the UK to answer to their crimes.

It’s undeniable that Kenya has become a hub for criminals in hiding! The reason is because Kenya is a very corrupt country! Anyone can get away with anything as long as you got some cash to part with. Sad!
Too many crooks abroad are identifying themselves as "Kenyans" ...how so? West Africans, wasomali...now wengine ambao hawakai wakenya... Looks like Kajwangism lives on at Nyayo hse...nikii?
Because they are and Kenya is very top on the lost of most corrupt countries in the world 😊
Can U.K extradite british citizens that have committed murder in kenya just like the kenyan government did with this two criminals?
Mkenya, no western country would be dumb to allow their citizens been tried in other countries. Especially in an African country? Remember the diplomat who hit a British kiddo? What did Trump do? Covered his own like hell! Like Uhuru said once, wanaramba ramba matako ya wazungu. Wazungu hawatawapenda more because you gave your own to be tried in foreign soil dummies
Time to pay the pied piper!... You can't hide forever.. You do the crime, you do the time.
