NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 25 – Detectives have arrested a fugitive murder suspect in Tanzania after a two-year manhunt over the killing of Sheila Odoyo, whose body was discovered inside her house in Athi River on May 9, 2024.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said the suspect, identified as Jackson Otieno Bambo, alias James Babu Olang, is the deceased’s husband and was arrested following intelligence-led investigations and cross-border cooperation between Kenyan and Tanzanian law enforcement agencies.
According to the DCI, the breakthrough came after detectives received intelligence placing the suspect in Kirongwe, Shirati District, Tanzania, where he was allegedly hiding while operating a club about 70 kilometres from the Muhuru border point.
