The Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji has taken over a case where a man was allegedly killed over Sh9m insurance policy.
This is after Citizen TV aired a story where Makau Musyoki from Machakos was murdered under mysterious circumstances.
An early probe linked Musyoki's cousin Evans Kasyoki, as the prime suspect who orchestrated his murder in order to receive payment.
“The DPP attention has been drawn to a news feature appearing on Primetime news in regard to the Kangundo incident. Due to the nature of the case, the DPP has directed that immediate legal steps be taken to ensure justice is done,” reads a statement from Haji’s office.
In the statement, the DPP warned that any individual found to be obstructing the administration of justice for the family of the deceased will be prosecuted.
“DPP further wishes to inform the public that obstruction of due process is serious criminal offence & any person who will be found culpable shall face the full force of the law," he added.
The news feature revealed that the deceased had two life insurance policies with a top insurance company worth Sh1m and Sh8m respectively.
Kasyoki is accused of falsifying documents to get the money.
