A vigilant public is helping the police with crucial links that might help investigators bust terror suspect Violet Kemunto Omwoyo.
Attendants of a courier company tipped the police after it emerged that the wanted suspect had sent luggage from Eastleigh Nairobi to Mandera.
According to sources, Kemunto, alias Khadija, was to pick the luggage in Mandera on Wednesday, January, 16.
Mandera borders Kenya and Somalia.
This was a day after the DusitD2 attack where six gunmen stormed the hotel and went on a shooting spree.
One of the gunmen who police say planned the bloody attack is Ali Salim Gichunge who was living in Guango estate in Ruaka.
His neighbours told police that he was living with a woman they presumed is his wife.
Anti-Terror Police Unit officers have since established that the woman was Kemunto who got married to Gichunge in 2017.
The investigators believe she has key information on the planning of the attack.
Sources said police swung into action after the call from the courier company and picked the luggage.
They realized she had sent personal effects including clothes and had therefore planned to escape.
There were also details that a week before the attack, Kemunto had advertised all their household items for sale saying they were moving out of Nairobi.
A police source told the Standard that they have cast their net wide in pursuing the suspect with hints she might have crossed the border to Somalia.
