Thursday,
January 18, 2024 - Three police officers are guests of the state after they were arrested
for kidnapping a Chinese national.
The three
who are from the General Service Unit (GSU) were arrested in an operation led
by Interpol.
The victim was waylaid
on his way to work, where two cars blocked his vehicle before the suspects
cuffed him and sped off towards Machakos direction.
After hours of
disappearance, concerned friends reported to the police about the businessman
who never arrived at his workplace as expected, where detectives forensically
traced him to Mua Hills in Machakos.
Upon arrival at the
Mua Hills, the mastermind called the victim's family back in China demanding an
unestablished amount of ransom, which was wired to a bank account in China.
After the money was
deposited, the gang's accomplices in China confirmed that the family had
complied, and the victim was released.
Swinging into action,
the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) with the help of Interpol
initiated a systematic probe into the abduction right from Mombasa Road, where
two vehicles were picked as vehicles of interest.
The GSU officers were
arrested and were on Wednesday arraigned at Mavoko Law Courts.
