Lawyer linked to Kevin Kang'ethe released on KSH 100k cash bail

A city lawyer who had been picked up by DCI officers and held by police at an unknown location since friday has finally been released on Ksh100,000 cash bail. 

Beatrice Ngethe was picked up from her apartment in Nairobi and whisked away and her whereabouts have been unknown until today when the Law Society of Kenya demanded her immediate release.

Beatrice is reported to have had links with a Kenyan fugitive identified as Kevin Kang'ethe, who escaped from the Muthaiga police station a week ago. 

Kangethe is wanted in the US for the murder of Maggie Mbitu who is said to have been his lover.

Surveillance footage from an undisclosed location captured the arrival of three unidentified individuals in a Subaru Forester. 

Shortly after, the vehicle was observed departing from the premises where Beatrice was last seen. 

Subsequently, three officers—two women and a man—are seen entering the premises. 

Moments later, they emerge escorting Beatrice towards their parked vehicle adjacent to the apartment wall.

The group arrived at the premises a few minutes past 6:50 am on Friday, swiftly departing with Beatrice by 7 am, destination unknown. 

Despite frantic efforts by family members, scouring various police stations, including Kiambu, Gigiri, Muthaiga, Karen, and the DCI headquarters along Kiambu road, Beatrice remained untraced for three days.

Her reappearance occurred at Pangani Police Station, hours after the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) raised concerns regarding her whereabouts.
