Wanted: Killer gang linked to jailbreak

Daily Nation: - News |Wanted: Killer gang linked to jailbreak: "An elite team of detectives has been deployed to Nyanza Province to track down a killer gang that has been on the prowl since late last year.

A policeman and a taxi driver alleged to have been colluding with the gang have already been arrested and are facing charges.

Two other officers linked to the killing of a businessman during a robbery incident in Kisumu are on the run and are being sought.

Criminal intelligence sources told the Sunday Nation that investigations link the increase in insecurity in the region to 13 hardcore criminals who escaped from Busia Prison on the night of October 3, 2010.

“Our intelligence indicates that the escapees are behind the spate of robberies and killings within Nyanza and parts of Western Province,” a police source said.

Several people have fallen victim to the gang that is alleged to have formed a network within Kisumu town and targets businessmen and civil servants.

Nyanza police boss Njue Njagi said they had noted an increase in crime and had set up a team of elite detectives to track down the perpetrators."
