Did Hashim Dagane Kill His Wife?

Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday, November 7, the Deputy Director of the Department of Criminal Investigation (DCI), John Onyango, revealed more details about the suspect's background.

Onyango explained that Dagane, a Kenyan of Ethiopian origin, is suspected of having a history of violent crimes, including the alleged killing of one of his wives and their three children in Ethiopia.

“He is informed that he had a family in Ethiopia, where he had married three wives and allegedly killed one of them,” Onyango said, adding that the circumstances surrounding Dagane's release from detention in Ethiopia are still unknown.

The investigation is ongoing as investigators continue to collect evidence and connect the allegations of Dagane's involvement in this and possibly other violent crimes.
