Following the rising cases CID offices moved in and arrested the primary school dropout in Karagita which is home to hundreds of flower farm workers.
Naivasha CID boss Martin Mbaya confirmed the arrest on Thursday adding that the teenager was assisting police with investigations.
He said that they had presented the suspect and at the Naivasha law courts and sought to hold him for some days as part of their investigations.
“We have a twelve year old boy in our custody and initial investigations point that he could be involved in the two murders in Karagita estate,” he said.
Mbaya called on members of the public to volunteer information to the police adding that this was the only way they could firmly deal with those involved in crime.
