Monday morning, detectives from Kasarani Police Station visited the scene in Roysambu where a 20-year-old girl was killed in a gruesome manner and her body parts dumped in a trash bin.

The probe this time round focuses on CCTV footage near the building which houses an Airbnb where the suspect allegedly committed the act on Saturday night before escaping.

For more than six hours detectives moved from house to house, shop to shop in search of evidence to help trace the suspect who is still at large.

CCTV footage which is being studied by detectives captured the suspect moments before he allegedly committed the crime.

In the clip captured around 4:20 pm on Saturday, the suspect is seen walking while talking on the phone outside a shop adjacent to the building where the body parts were found.

He walks straight to the cashier and hands him his phone before the cashier gives him a key and hands back his phone.

Holding firmly in his hand was a black bag. The suspect who was wearing a white cap and spectacles appeared to be in a hurry. He returned after five minutes and handed over the payment to the cashier before leaving.

This was the last time the suspect was captured. He was expected to return the keys on Sunday morning but failed to do so.

The proprietor of the Airbnb property, Risper Muthoni, said she received a call from the caretaker who discovered body parts inside the trash bag in the house.

The remains which were taken to City Mortuary have since been identified positively by the family of the deceased who declined to talk to the media and said they are still waiting for police to conclude investigations. 

Sources revealed that the 20-year-old girl had intimated to a friend that she had gone to have dinner with a friend in Roysambu but failed to turn up a day after and her phone was switched off.
