The three suspects who escaped from Kamiti Maximum Prison have been arrested in Kitui County enroute to Somalia.
The three suspects are Musharaf Abdallah Akhulunga alias Shukri, Mohamed Abdi Ali Abikas alias Mohamed Ali Abikar, and Joseph Juma Odhiambo.
According to locals in Kitui County, the three were spotted at Malalani shopping centre and bought a lot of water.
They looked exhausted and one of them had wounds, what raised their suspicion before locals tipped police officers was when they asked directions to Boni Forest in Lamu County.
