This comes a day after a murder suspect was arrested in Maai Mahiu, Nakuru County after turning up at the crime scene hours after the alleged killing.
The suspect is accused of killing a boda boda operator following a brief altercation between them after failing to pay the rider on arrival at his destination.
According to police reports, the suspect hit the boda boda operator several times on the head with a stone, killing him on the spot.
He then rode the motorcycle and hid it near his compound shortly before turning at the incident scene mourning the departed rider.
However, the officer noted that villagers noticed blood splatter on his clothes and upon questioning him, he ran away before police officers caught him an hour later.
