Identity of Who Killed Treasury Tom Osinde Revealed.

Former Treasury official Tom Fred Mokaya Osinde was killed at his home in Nakuru City’s Ngata Estate before his body was transported to Kisii County and dumped in Gucha River.

Detectives investigating the murder have revealed that Osinde’s body was transported to Kisii, several kilometres from his Ngata home, in his Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 vehicle.

According to a senior detective at the centre of the murder probe, investigators found blood stains in his house.

“We found blood stains in one of Osinde’s houses where, according to his associates, he liked to spend his free time. The curtains and some clothes in the house had blood stains. We also found empty liquor bottles and food in the house,” said the detective.

“Someone tried to clean the house after the murder to conceal evidence,” the detective added.

In what appears to have been a well-planned and executed murder, his killers used a polythene bag and some clothes to carefully wrap his head to conceal details of their heinous act.

“His assailants used a sharp object to slash his head before wrapping it in a polythene bag. They also used the back door to remove his body from the house, avoiding the main gate, which was guarded by one of his workers,” the detective added.

And true to the words of American novelist Patricia Highsmith…”There is no perfect murder…there is always a trail of evidence left behind and it only requires a sleuth with the proficiency of a Sherlock Holmes (the fictional British detective) to unearth it…Osinde’s killers left the blood-stained polythene bag on the banks of the Gucha River.

Blood Samples

Detectives say an analysis of the blood samples from the polythene bag and the curtains match those of the slain former Treasury official.

Although his posh house in Ngata – still under construction – had no CCTV cameras, investigators were able to reconstruct the scene of the murder.

As detectives from the homicide department and the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau (CRIB) burn the midnight oil to unravel the circumstances surrounding the murder and the motive for the killing, it is now emerging that Mr Julius Mogoi, the prime suspect, may have been hired by unknown persons to commit the murder.

“Mogoi has revealed to senior investigators that he was approached to commit the murder, but he has not given any further details about the people who hired him and his accomplices,” revealed a highly placed source at the centre of the investigation.

The latest revelations have now raised crucial questions about the murder. Who wanted Osinde dead and why? Was he a victim of a deal gone sour? What was the motive for the murder?

At his Ngata residence, Osinde lived in one of the rooms of the mansion which is still under construction.

There is also a small house in the compound where his workers say he used to relax as he enjoyed his favourite drinks.

“He loved spending time in the small house where he liked to drink and relax. The mansion is incomplete and it only served as his bedroom. The small house also served as a kitchen,” revealed Mr Jacob Khaemba, the caretaker of Osinde’s home.
