The late Moses Okiror Omusolo whose body was found dumped along Kangundo Road on Wednesday, December 21, 2022.

Details of slain Standard Group journalist Moses Omusolo’s last movements before he met his untimely death have emerged. 

Officers of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) based in Kayole say they are currently reviewing CCTV footage obtained from a building close to where Omusolo’s body was found and are keen to work out the strange prescience of two vehicles that were seen driving by the scene. 

One of the vehicles was spotted at the scene at around 11.30 pm and was stationary for about 15 minutes before driving off. 

Kayole DCI boss Jackson Owino says the vehicle was a private Nissan van that did not have a yellow line.  

The second vehicle, a grey Mazda Demio, was spotted in the area for about five minutes after 11.30 pm on Wednesday night. 

According to recorded statements, Omusolo, 35, whose body was recovered in a trench on Thursday morning, had left his fiancée’s home in Komarock the previous night when he was attacked by unknown people. 

The business reporter had attended a meeting at the home of his future in-laws to plan for his upcoming wedding and was heading to a relative’s home near Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital. 

On that fateful night, Omusolo left the fiancée’s house at around 10 pm. 

Ordinarily, he would have requested for an Uber taxi home, but on this night he may have decided otherwise. 

Phone data analysis shows that the deceased spoke to the relative whose home he was heading to at around 9.30 pm.  

Omusolo wanted to brief the relative on the final plans for the wedding. 

He also intended to spend the night at his home. 

The relative, who lives along Kangundo Road, had travelled to Nakuru for personal errands and returned home a few minutes after 9.45pm.  

At around 10.30pm, the relative called Omusolo to find out why it had taken him long to arrive at his house, but his phone was off. 

Initially, he assumed the phone had probably run out of power. 

The following morning, the relative called Omusolo’s brother, James, to find out if the journalist had another number, since he still could not be reached.  

James informed the relative that Omusolo had only one mobile number known to the family, and they agreed that they would keep dialing the line until they reached him. 

Their hopes of finding him alive were, however, shattered by a call from the Standard Group management that informed him of his brother’s demise.
