Police have reportedly arrested Inspector Kipkemboi Sang in Eldoret, where he is said to have been attempting to sell his car after allegedly going into hiding over the killings of lawyer Kyalo Mbobu and psychiatrist Dr Victoria Mutiso.

According to the information provided, officers pounced on the inspector when he appeared in Eldoret to sell off the vehicle, bringing his reported spell on the run to an end.

Sang is accused of coordinating the two killings, allegations that place the police officer at the centre of a serious criminal investigation.

His reported arrest is expected to raise fresh questions about the circumstances surrounding the murders and the alleged role of individuals implicated in the case.

Further details about the circumstances of the arrest, the charges he may face and the next steps in the investigation are awaited.

The allegations against Sang remain subject to proof in court. The reported arrest and circumstances surrounding it should be independently confirmed by police or other reliable sources.
