The latest findings have also linked the alleged hit to two police officers who investigators believe played a key role in the execution of the murder. The officers are still on the run as detectives intensify efforts to track them down.

According to investigators, the two officers had allegedly agreed to share the money equally after carrying out the assignment, with forensic evidence suggesting that the suspects wore police uniforms during the operation.

The latest development comes as detectives traced the second Toyota Prado allegedly used during the operation to Kisii County, hundreds of kilometres from Nairobi, where Dr Mutiso was shot dead.

The vehicle is believed to be the same one that was stolen from the disputed piece of land that detectives have identified as the possible centre of the longstanding feud allegedly linked to the murder.

The discovery of the Prado in Kisii has provided investigators with another lead as they piece together the movements of the suspects before and after the July 29 shooting in Upper Hill.

Detectives and senior police officers on Saturday visited Nderi and Thogoto police bases as they pursued leads on the whereabouts of the two officers who are currently on the run, according to Citizen TV .

The developments come a day after DCI Director Mohamed Amin disclosed that investigators had identified a police inspector attached to Nderi Police Post under Kikuyu Police Station as the alleged link between the financiers of the murder and the operational team.

Amin said ballistic analysis had established that a Jericho pistol recovered from Nderi Police Post was the firearm used to kill Dr Mutiso.

“Investigations have established that the elimination of Dr Mutiso was driven by a longstanding land civil dispute,” Amin said, as detectives continued to pursue other suspects believed to have financed and coordinated the killing.
