Police officers have located a house where one of the suspected terrorists who staged the Tuesday attack on Dusit D2 Hotel in Nairobi had been residing before the attack.
This, according to the detectives, came after a tipoff by a neighbour of the suspect in Guango Estate in Muchatha, Kiambu.
The source identified the Toyota Ractis abandoned by the suspects at the Dusit D2 Hotel during the attack, as he recalled seeing it being used by the suspect.
This led to detectives raiding the house rented by the suspect where they recovered arms and explosives stashed in a hole inside the house, reports the Standard.
The suspect is said to have been living in the estate for about four months, where he has been paying Sh40,000 in monthly rent.
On Tuesday, in the course of the siege, police discovered that the abandoned car had some explosives waiting to go off.
It took the intervention of bomb experts to detonate the grenades.
Reports from the police indicate that the attack has left 14 dead and scores of others injured, some of whom are admitted in various city hospitals and others treated and discharged.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has since called for calm, saying that the situation has been neutralised. The Head of State thanked security agencies for their swift response and effectiveness.
