Mr. Obado was arrested on Friday after recording statements for the second time with DCI and will face murder charges on Monday.

In the police cells, reports the Standard, Gombe, who was not privy to abduction, spilled the beans about the mystery surrounding the death.

Detectives say, in his statement, Gombe indicates that Obado, using a different vehicle, drive to the murder scene at Kodera forest where he gave final instructions.

Contrary to his earlier statement that he was in Nairobi, detectives have however traced Obado's phone to Homa Bay during the fateful day, revelations which matches with the taxi driver's statement.
