Two more suspects wanted in connection with the murder of Nathan Masai Wasama in Cheptais have surrendered to the police.

Robert Kimutai Psisei, alias Robert Miti, surrendered at Cheptais Police Station this morning. He was arrested, escorted and booked at Sirisia Police Station.

Another suspect, Brian Chongin Kaos, surrendered at Chwele Police Station, where he was taken into custody.

"The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) remains resolute in its efforts to expedite investigations into the murder. The two suspects are among those in custody as detectives continue with investigations, with all suspects expected to be arraigned in court to face the law once investigations are complete," DCI said in a statement.

Wasama was shot dead on the night of August 8, 2026, at his shop in Tuikut Trading Centre, Sasur Location, Cheptais Sub-County, after four men arrived at the trading centre on two motorcycles.

Preliminary investigations established that one of the pillion passengers alighted, walked into Wasama’s shop and shot him before fleeing with his accomplices. A woman was also shot and injured during the incident and remains admitted at a local hospital in stable condition.
