Although the exact motive behind the murder remains unclear, detectives are exploring all leads, including the suspect’s criminal background and previous threats made against individuals.
Authorities have appealed to the public for assistance in locating Gichunuku. Anyone with information about his whereabouts is encouraged to contact the police immediately. The toll-free hotline, **0800 722 203**, is available for anonymous tips, or individuals can report directly to the nearest police station.
