Kevin Omwenga’s murder case has taken a new twist. This is after a new CCTV footage was obtained showing trails of one of the suspect, Robert Bodo Ouko, fetching and returning a pistol from his boss office, Chris Obure.
The footage which is dated August 21, shows Ouko picking the pistol a few minutes past 6 am. He opens the safe and tucks away the gun before leaving the Santeu Plaza office. Later that day, Ouko is seen returning the firearm in the same spot but this time he adds ammunition.
It is well past 11 pm. At this time Omwenga was reported shot and was transported to the Nairobi Women’s Hospital Adams Plaza in a blue car.
Footage outside the Galana Suites, Kilimani apartment where the deceased lived, showed Ouko load the body in the back seat of the motor vehicle but does not board the vehicle.
The suspect walks to Obure’s office just across the street Galana suites where he loads the pistol with ammunition.
At 11.14p.m Ouko leaves boarding a motorbike and heads to Kilimani police station where he was arrested following interrogation.

In his statement, Ouko told the police that the shooting was an accident, a fact that government pathologist Dr Johansen Oduor could not confirm even after an autopsy.
According to Dr Oduor, the shot was fired from an elevated angle, went through the heart and left lung killing the deceased on the spot.
