“Criminals have resorted to witchcraft and other unorthodox methods, in a bid to evade detection by our hawk-eyed detectives, as DCI intensifies its onslaught against criminals and criminal gangs in the country.
Yesterday, detectives based at the elite Crime Research & Intelligence Bureau (CRIB) supported by their Special Services Unit (SSU) counterparts, pounced on a suspect who took off with Sh 4 million, from her employer three weeks ago.” Said DCI

The woman identified as Miriam Mwelu was nabbed sourcing protection from a witch doctor against detectives who also found a list of other people seeking the same kind of protection.
The detectives proceeded to the house of the suspect’s parents led to the discovery of Ksh 1.57 million and jewelry which were also stolen from her employer.
“The suspect identified as Miriam Mwelu, who was accompanied by her partner Timothy Akoi, were found at a renowned witch doctor’s house in Gachie, Kiambu County, where Mwelu had gone to seek protection from our men.
The detectives arrived in time as the suspect was being immersed in a basin containing a concoction of blood drawn from a dead fowl, whose features resembled those of a cockerel.
Later, the suspect led the detectives to her parent’s home in Ithanga, Murang’a county, where Sh1.57million was recovered. Also recovered was the jewelry stolen from the woman’s employer.
Detectives rely on actionable intelligence supported forensically through science that cannot be challenged by the dark powers of a witch doctor.” Said DCI
